The following intro is a paid product review for GoLinks, a platform to create memorable and easy-to-use links to share with team members and boost productivity.
If you're working on a team at a startup or other venture, you likely find yourself going back to the same links repeatedly. Maybe you're using some kind of bookmarking service, or possibly just your web browser's built-in bookmarking, to track all your team's links.
You may even have 30 or more tabs open in any browser session, with new ones being added all the time. If this resembles your workflow, you should definitely check out
GoLinks!
The
GoLinks platform includes an
easy-to-use dashboard and complementary browser extension that allows you to create memorable and easy-to-use go links that all registered team members have access to. Here are some examples of memorable go links you can create:
After any go link is created (either using the browser extension or directly inside your team's GoLinks dashboard), simply type the go link URL in your browser's address bar and the link will function similar to a short link service. Except unlike a short URL service, you're in full control of each of your go links. You can add, delete, and customize them as you wish – and only your team members have access to them.
The GoLinks Dashboard
In addition to adding and editing existing links, the GoLinks dashboard allows you to add tags to your go links, access recently used go links, and offers other ways to filter and organize your go links.
As mentioned, you can create a go link in your dashboard manually, or just hit the button that appears in your browser after you
install and pin the extension (available for Chromium browsers and Firefox). The current page will automatically be populated into the "create go link" extension popup.
Creating a go link using the browser extension
From there you can create the custom URL itself and optionally "unlist" the go link so it can be shared but isn't visible in the dashboard to the whole team.
Another cool feature is the
analytics portion of your dashboard that gives insight into a number of different areas related to your team's use of different apps accessed via your team's go links.
GoLinks Analytics for Boosting Team Productivity and Efficiency
This insight allows you to understand better how your GoLinks are being used and where to more efficiently allocate resources. For example you can:
- View what apps and resources your team is using the most, as well as which ones are used the least
- Analyze how much time you've saved using your go links
- Determine what apps and services your team isn't using, thus allowing you to cut unnecessary resources
Overall, the
GoLinks service is an efficient and time-saving replacement for traditional bookmarking in the browser or even external bookmark apps you may have tried or are currently using. You save all sorts of easy-to-remember links that are searchable and usable just like regular URLs in your browser.
You can
sign up for GoLinks and try out the free version, which includes unlimited go links and unlimited team members forever. A great deal, if you ask me! I'm sure you'll love how easy it is to create go links and use them everywhere in a team environment.
