listography unchaotic lists

Love lists? You need to check out Listography. It’s a cute little site where you can write and save as many lists, on as many different topics, as you can think up! You can list restaurants to try, places you’d like to visit, books to read – maybe even those shiny New Year’s resolutions you just made…whatever you want. You can browse the Sample User profile for more ideas. On the site you can customize the theme and create a profile, then share (or not) any lists you create. Here’s what the creators have to say:

Listography provides users (listographers) of all ages an easy-to-use tool for creative list writing and sharing. Through list making, you can shape an autobiography. Therefore, your listography is a perpetual work in progress, a time capsule you can share, and a map of your life for friends and family.

I’ll admit, some of the things they suggest you list actually make more sense, to me at least, to save in other places (for example: saving a list of movies you want to see in your Netflix queue) but this is a great catch-all for those lists that don’t have a home yet. And the ‘autobiography in lists’ idea is fairly interesting and isn’t something you would get from a Netflix queue or Amazon wishlist.

Hey Katie, I'll have to check this out, but I think my favorite 'list-keeping' tool has to be http://www.evernote.com/. Accessible from everywhere, shareable and can hold all types of supporting data for my lists and to-dos. Thanks for the new resource though!

I love evernote! I was going to write a little post about that at some point in the future. (If you'd like to guest post about it though that could be really cool! Let me know…)

This site is a very different feel from evernote – it's more “social” in that you can share your lists and the idea is that the lists themselves say something about you as a person (autobiography via list format). But I agree – as far as a useful tool for keeping handy information around evernote far outpaces this site.
