Yes, it's Thursday and we're just now getting to the Pick of the Week ... sorry about that; I basically forgot about it due to some other commitments! I also cheated a bit for this week's pick, as I spotted it just yesterday in Dan Frakes' Mac Gems Weblog. URLwell is an organization tool for all those "temporary" URLs you may have strewn across your desktop or in various folders on your drive. URLwell lives in the menubar, and you can add a URL to it by simply dragging and dropping. It is not a full-blown bookmarks manager; it exists mainly as a convenient way to save all those sites you'll be visiting "any day now" but don't necessarily want to go through the trouble of bookmarking.

Dan provides a more detailed writeup of its features and operation, so head over to his weblog for the full scoop. Suffice it to say that I found URLwell to be very easy and intuitive to use (I love the option-click to remove feature), and you can't beat the price! Thanks, Dan, for the pointer to a most handy little utility -- my desktop and "temporary things" folder are now much less crowded!
