How to use Transferr to optimize your research on the web

Transferr is great for when you're browsing the web and researching a particular area. Often when researching the web, I used to find myself with multiple word documents open, with hundreds of links in each. Unless I clicked the link, I had no idea what it was or where it was going.

That's where Transferr's icon system shines. I can browse the web with Transferr open, and anything I think might be useful just goes right on into my research tab. It is so much nicer to be able to see exactly where my research has gone, re-arrange and categorize the icons I have, so when it comes time to compile information, reference it or re-visit it, it is just one or two clicks away.

I have been looking for good software that aids research for some time, and Transferr takes one part of project management and makes it easy.

To start optimising, you'll need a Transferr account. Register and log in. You should always create new tabs for specific projects or parts of your projects, because this makes it far easier to manage the icons later on, when you may have hundreds of icons all in your 'My Icons' tab.

Keep Transferr open in a window or tab, and then get researching. Transferr is great because you can save your Google Searches or specific news articles that had info you wanted to keep, so you can start researching right where you left off.

Browse the web and when you find a link you want to keep, just add it in Transferr. Color coding is a great idea also.

After a while you will build up a great set of icons, all which reflect the path you followed to research. The best part is that wherever you go, your icons follow!
