SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Web page bookmarks that help surfers return to useful Internet sites are undergoing a transformation as new tools emerge for users to categorize and share favorite sites automatically with others.

For, while Web surfing remains the essential gesture of our age, jumping from site to site is a broken way of keeping track of information.

On Wednesday, Silicon Valley start-up Kaboodle Inc. will offer a novel way for Web surfers facing information overload to keep a running record of useful sites and extract key details for personal use or to share with like-minded users.

Kaboodle (http://www.kaboodle.com/) -- short for "whole kit and caboodle", a collection of lots of objects -- allows users to create Web pages to manage personal research, do comparison shopping, make wish lists or plan travel.

"The process is pretty clunky of trying to look at a whole bunch of information by going from site to site," said Manish Chandra, Kaboodle's founder and CEO. "Each Kaboodle page represents a custom search result you have created," he said.
