Springpad is an organizational tool that allows users to take notes easily and curate other materials around topics.  It is great for organizing day-to-day items, such as To Do lists and recipes, but also allows collaboration with others working on a project or event.  Similar to Pinterest, users create Notebooks and instead of "pinning" items, they "spring" sites, images, and text to their Notebooks.  Users can follow other Notebooks, comment on Notebooks, and "Like" items within Notebooks.
