But the app doesn't stop at saving information; it also pulls in actionable links. For example, if you "save" a movie, you also save links to buy tickets for a local theater or add that film to your Netflix queue. If you save a restaurant, that entry is accompanied by a link to the menu and Open Table so you can quickly make reservations.

The idea behind the app -- that we no longer surf the web idly or without intention -- has led to a highly effective product, one that's just today launched in the Android Market. The app is free and also available as an iPhone application.

Users can make lists, save items by barcode, save images, save locations and access saved information from a variety of devices, including web browsers. And, of course, users can choose to share items on the social web if they like.

Jeff Janer is Springpad's CEO, and he was kind enough to give us a demo of the Android app today at Google I/O. Check it out, and if you've got an Android device, give Springpad a spin and let us know what you think.
