The List Files "The Tool for the Cool" August 16th
2007-08-16 20:50:00
Today we launched The List Files to help you find what you’re looking for on ListBums.com. The List Files appear to the right of every list and by default displays lists that relate to the one you’re viewing. The List Files also gives you quick access to the list database, most recent lists and the list categories.We developed this application because we were running out of room in our garage do to hundreds of file boxes full of lists. We realized we could save space by storing everyone’s lists online. We got rid of most of them and now we have room for a mini fridge to store our leftover subway sandwiches. We hope the list files help all users, new and old, find what they’re looking for on listbums.com. Thank goodness for the “Tool for the Cool ”
