Mento new way of link sharing.

Have you ever use Bookmark in your browser? I bet you did.
What about using online bookmarking? like del.icio.us or maybe digg. These sites allow you to save a link and use it later, sometimes by search on tags.
But all of these services lake of some important item: Picture. Most of times pictures are the most important part of page that I myself want to refer to them.
Recently I was introduce to a new service called Mento. You can take snapshot or use one of the picture in the page as the link image.
One of other important item in mento is friends. Here you can smell a Social Network again ;).
Currently it is in Beta stage and you can register it only by invitation. So you can put your email address in my FriendFeed, other friends also can help in.

The Wheel of Life

A friend send me this:
When life is busy, or all your energy is focused on a special project, it’s all too easy to find yourself “off balance”, not paying enough attention to important areas of your life. While you need to have drive and focus if you're going to get things done, taking this too far can lead to frustration and intense stress.

There is a tool in this page, helps you visualize the current state of your time sparing in your life, and easily you can determine which part is unbalanced and should be reconsider.

The left picture is not mine, it's just a sample placed in the site, But I will set mine here, soon. I think I should find a 3D tools for my life.
