Gary Vaynerchuk’s WineLibrary.tv, Andrea’s Recipes and other top food bloggers give consumers easy access to useful content and actionable offers
Spring Partners today announced the launch of the new Springpad, a free online personal organizer that helps people get things done. Springpad is integrated with the Web’s most popular services and makes it easy to discover, collect and organize content from publishers, brands and your friends in one place. It also allows you to personalize, share and use your content in Springpad’s apps designed for everything from creating lists to planning tasks, events and projects.
Gary Vaynerchuk, author, entrepreneur and prolific blogger on the topics of wine, business and social media, has joined the Spring Partners’ Board of Advisors and is using Springpad. “I’m a big believer in Springpad’s vision that content from publishers and brands can be made even more useful to help people organize their lives, get things done and share their knowledge. When I saw what Springpad could do I loved the fact that my viewers could do ANYTHING THEY wanted to do with the data not what I might have thought they wanted, I quickly and easily integrated my winelibrary.tv site with Springpad and created several Springpad apps, including a Wine Notebook and Thunder List.”
How does Springpad help make content more useful? Here are the highlights:
- Use the web clipper or click on our partners’ SaveIt! buttons to collect recipes, restaurants, businesses, books, movies, music and more from the web
- Discover recommendations and quickly get content from friends, followers and popular web services
- Organize, personalize and share your stuff by adding notes, photos and videos
- Access your content and apps on the go with our mobile web app
- Use your content in one of our many apps or easily create your own
Many top food bloggers, including Kath Eats, Inn Cuisine and Sea Salt With Food and several well known brands are already using Springpad to give their audience a better way to use their recipes, menus and insights. “Our partnership allows us to combine our kitchen-tested recipe expertise, knowledge of my readers and what they want with Springpad’s innovative approach to change how content is offered and distributed online,” said Andrea Meyers. “Springpad promises to help consumers manage their daily lives, while at the same time providing me with an innovative and useful distribution opportunity.”
“We’re all about providing useful content to help people organize their lives, get things done and share their knowledge with family and friends,” said Jeff Janer, CEO of Spring Partners. “Not only do we take the work out of collecting, organizing and sharing useful content, we also provide many apps – from easy to use online notebooks to popular meal and activity planners – to help people get things done and simplify their lives.”

I’m excited on the launch! I’ve used a number of different services out there but find yours to fit my needs the best. I love to collect and personalize all the stuff I find on the web. I started using a few of your apps too. I like the Meal Planer and will likely use the Gift Planner for the holidays. Your system is sort of like iTunes, but dare I say…for life?! Thanks and good luck.
I would use tools like Springpad if I knew that my data was not locked in there. Open format data storage and extraction (e.g. Google’s Data Liberation Front) would make me more confident in using a cloud service.
Google services etc are not perfect, but having an escape route would make me more confident using this.

Hi Robert – We completely agree! It is our belief as well that your data is yours and that you should have the ability to not only store and access it, but also to extract and move it as you please. To that end, we are working on API’s to integrate with other services so you have greater flexibility to transport your data elsewhere. This will be an exciting update to springpad and we look forward to incorporating it into future releases!
Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate your comments and suggestions!

HOW DO I PRINT MY LISTS SO THAT THEY ARE “PURSE SIZE”?
ALSO, HOW DO I MAINTING A COMPLETED ITEM AS “DONE” WITHOUT DELETING IT FOREVER?
I’M NEW TO THIS AS YOU CAN TELL.

Welcome Leslie, we love new users!
We are still working on improvements to the printing process in springpad. Currently we do not offer a condensed printing format for wallet/purse size task lists. This is however, a great idea and will be added to the shoebox for future releases.
Completed tasks are not deleted unless you actively delete them. When viewing tasks in My Stuff or the Task Manager app you can filter the tasks you see by clicking on Incomplete or Complete.
I hope you enjoy springpad. If you need further assistance you can contact us at http://getsatisfaction.com/springpartners
