While this is visually interesting, I found ThumbTack to be sluggish. Unless you need a storyboard approach to arranging your material (and this is limited), I recommend BackFlip or Twine. I have always been pleased by the speedy put away that BackFlip offers. Since I’m a list maker, this serves me well by letting me “throw” a link into my list and keep moving.
