What is TabCorral?
It's a free Firefox and Internet Explorer web browser plug-in that helps you manage all the Web pages (tabs) you stumble across each day - tabs which (for some of us) stay open for days at a time while you figure out what to do with them.
For example, if you were researching the purchase of a new television, you could find yourself facing a dozen relevant web pages (buyers guides, product pages, online reviews, etc). TabCorral allows you to quickly collect those tabs in a single corral - which you can save, share and open later.
How Does TabCorral Help Me Manage Tabs?
Easy. You create a "corral" (a collection of saved browser tabs, which are really web pages) containing one or more tabs. Once created, you can add tabs to the corral by simply right-clicking a web page or browser tab and selecting the "Add to Corral" command.
You can create as many corrals as you need - giving them names which reflect their contents. You can open those corrals, which in turn opens all the tabs in that corral - right in your browser.
How Do People Use TabCorral?
At Big Horizon, some use TabCorral to open and save largely static groups of tabs (work, sports, financial, etc). Others (like me) constantly create and add new tabs to existing corrals - a dynamic use.
For example, I created a "Useful web pages no writer should live without" corral, containing all sorts of great tools I used infrequently (online style manuals, writer tools, idea generators, etc). Rather than dig through a Google search for the page I saw a couple weeks ago, I just check that corral, and there it is.
Once you get into the swing of using TabCorral - and discover how useful it really is - you'll wonder how you surfed without it.
Who Will Find TabCorral Useful?
Writers, researchers, analysts, workgroups, bloggers, reporters, web surfers - anyone who spends time on the Web and would like to save/manage/leverage the useful resources they find there. TabCorral helps tame information overload; it offers you a fast, simple way to organize and save the useful web resources you find every day.
