Ok, so I have three awesome guy friends (well more than three, but this is about them). They are Shay, Justin and Andrew and they are Capesquared. Basically, they design web sites and come up with cool ideas.

One of them is Qur.ly, which I have to say has drastically made categorizing all the things I do on the Internet so much easier. Wow. I sound like a PSA.

But seriously, as someone who is a pretty prolific writer with drastically different audiences, I’m glad I have one place to bookmark all the things I write for each site. For example, I can send a link to a professional PR service of all the work I’ve done for the iSchool web site. At the same time, I can send a link of all the things I’ve done for Jerk Magazine to a humor site bent on delivering inappropriate, unsanctioned and irreverent content. WIN FOR ME!

Basically, it gives you one URL for however many you want to list under it. It’s one big bookmark you can share with everyone. I’ve used mine on four of the five links under “Punkin Writes” to list every writing in those categories. It’s super easy to use too, though I would appreciate a “qur.l” more button to make the site a little more intuitive.

I’m the kind of writer that has to balance what she wants to write about (snark, NSFW things, shock humor) with what I write that pays the bills and is still pretty important to me. I wouldn’t work for the iSchool and write such great things about them if I wasn’t thrilled with my education and the work this institution does.

So, thank you Capesquared, for qur.ly, which I will continue to mispronounce because qur is NOT CURL!! Love all three of you, probably unequally, so don’t try to force me to name a favorite because I’ll just end up hurting JBreese’s feelings.
