Pistashio – The New Way to Save and Sort Bookmarks

Pistashio is an online hub where users can save and store all the articles, photos, videos, reviews, books, and music they find online. It is an app that brings many functions together under one roof. One of the cool things about Pistashio is that you can set reminders.It will automatically email or tweet you the link. You can also set up the service to post your favorite links on Facebook or Twitter. 

One thing that makes Pistashio different from basic bookmarking applications is that it only saves links that fall into five distinct categories-food, video, reading, listening, and to-do-and the majority of this content is actually embedded on the site for easy referencing. When you add a YouTube video, for example, Pistashio embeds the video on its site rather than making you click away to watch it again. 

Pistashio can be used in a number of different ways, depending on what you're interested in and how you want to use the service.
