Keep Track of Blog Post Ideas with Zenbe Lists
Today I’d like to mention a tool that works wonders for my daily routine. The tool is Zenbe Lists, and it’s the perfect solution for keeping tracking of all those blog post ideas that pop into your mind (at least that’s how I use it). It comes in both a web version and an iPhone app, each syncing with each other.
If you’re a blogger, you know how important it is to write down your ideas as soon as they come to you. If you don’t, you’ll forget them and wish you had them when it comes time to write. Every good blogger should have a long list of blog post ideas ready to go when they’re needed.
Zenbe on the Web
Zenbe Lists makes it easy to quickly jot down these ideas and save them for quick recall later. It’s a web-based system, so you have access to your lists from any computer.
The interface is super easy to use. Once you’re logged in, just enter your blog post idea (or any list item) and it immediately gets added to your list. The site uses lots of nifty ajax effects so everything updates really fast. I can usually open up Zenbe, enter a list item, and get out within 10 seconds.
Zenbe has the perfect set of features, without over doing it.
You can manage multiple lists. I currently have three lists. One for each of my blogs. Each list is collapsable for easy navigation. You can also drag and drop list items to re-order them, plus mark items as checked, or delete them.
Zenbe on the iPhone
The thing that really makes this a useful tool in my arsenal, is the Zenbe iPhone application. I believe its 2 or 3 bucks in the app store.
The iPhone version of Zenbe delivers all of the same features as the web version, with a very similar look and feel. Add, edit, check, delete list items, create and manage lists… It’s all there on your iPhone.
Syncing is what makes it all worth it. Hit the “Sync” button on the iPhone app and your lists are now totally synced with your Zenbe account on the web. Nice.
Anyone else love Zenbe lists?

Thanks for the great write-up. We’re glad you’re getting stuff done with Zenbe Lists.
We have a new product called Shareflow that we think is great for brainstorming with teams. We’re not heavily promoting it yet, but giving out early access to some users.
If you’d like, try the free plan at http://getshareflow.com and let us know what you think. We appreciate any feedback.

@Tom – looks like a great product. Nice work!
Great idea, but will this work over the long run?
Been working great for me for about a year now. 3 blogs, 3 Zenbe lists : )
