What is Shelf?
Shelf is a cloud-based next generation knowledge management platform which allows groups of people and organizations to capture, organize, store and distribute information in real time within one user friendly space.

Who would use Shelf?
The short version is knowledge workers all over the world. The long version is project teams, groups, associations, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, classrooms, tech companies, development workers and anyone else who has to manage a growing amount of information on a daily basis.

What’s the problem that Shelf was designed to solve?
Groups of people and organizations currently use a mix of different platforms and devices for capturing, storing, organizing and sharing different types of digital information.

The current solution set for managing digital content across a team or organization is as follows:

Documents - Dropbox, Google Docs, email attachments
Announcements/Updates - Facebook groups, email, Twitter
Web Links - embedded in emails, Facebook post, Skype chat threads
Group Member Profile - LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook
Multimedia – Dropbox, YouTube, links inside an email
Resources – group website, Facebook, email
Using a mix of platforms to capture and share information causes important knowledge to get lost and buried causing stress and frustration when trying to retrieve it. Critical connectivity between important pieces of content is missed or misunderstood. All too often, because of the pain involved, important information isn’t captured or distributed at all.

How does Shelf solve the problem?
Shelf centralizes this clutter and makes finding relevant and important content easy. Shelf is designed to help people and organizations capture, find and share the most important information that crosses their path each day. With Shelf you can:

Capture Your Information in One Place
Shelf has a plugin for Firefox/Chrome/Safari that enables you to capture information on the fly without having to jump from one application to another. Just click on the Shelf icon that sits in your browser and begin seamlessly capturing interesting news, articles, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, ideas, images, important emails, podcasts and YouTube videos... even interesting Facebook posts, and Twitter feeds. The plugin is not only an efficient information capture tool - it’s also real fun to use.

Find Things Quickly and Make New Discoveries
Shelf enables you to search across all your content. Search through web content, documents, presentations, videos, companies, images and people. You can also search inside of PDF’s, Word Documents and spreadsheets.
