Go Shopping with Qitera

Today we would like to give you a quick introduction how to best use Qitera for shopping. Most online shops do have wish lists and features to save stuff – but in every case you have to register and log in with a new pass word. Qitera now lets you save and compare products across online shops just by saving your favorite products with the Qitera-browser button. After saving a specific product or offering you will get back to it at your “My Stuff” page. By sharing it securely with friends and family you will get valuable advice and decision support from the people that matter most to you. Just create a topic (e.g. named “my new watch”) and start collecting and sharing all the valuable stuff you come across while searching the web for the best offers.


Additionally, Qitera partners with a broad number of online shops to make online shopping easy and fun. Our partner online shops provide a “Keep This” button right beside their products. So you can save the product and its related information (picture, description, link and price) into Qitera with just one click on the shop page.


Here are some of our partner online shops:

A little widget will display all the relevant information and confirm positive feedback after the product is saved. Qitera helps you to manage your Christmas online shopping smoothly and secure. You can now discuss with selected friends or create wish lists for your own. Try it out.

Delicious and browser bookmark

One of the "most wanted" features in the last days was the import of browser or delicious bookmarks. I agree. Very useful.

So we put it online today and it works fairly simple and straight forward. In the footer under the Help section you'll find a new entry called "Import"



Just click on that and decide to first import your browser bookmarks or the ones from delicious. The software will provide a short guidance - depending on what browser you have - to walk you through the maximum 3 steps.

One thing on Tags vs. Topics: A Tag is a short description which helps you to memorize the URL, something like "vacation" or "Cool App". A Topic in Qitera is something that contains websites, comments or notes, images or vids ... it grows over time and everybody with whom it is shared can add his websites or comments. A Topic is more a vertical search engine with fulltext index and searchable for ALL words in ALL pages attached to it. A website can be in various topics.

The Qitera importer assists you to create Topics where you had Tags before.

Have fun now with your old stuff - in new looks!

Video Sharing with Qitera


Qitera lets you easily share different forms of web content. Video is a main part. With the Qitera-plugin you can save and share videos from all major video platforms with just one click. If you simply save the video you will find it in your personal content feed called "My Stuff". If you add the video to one of your topics you will also get back to it on the specific topic-page.

Additionally, you can contribute and share videos via the Qitera website by using the "Add New Item"-function and choose "add website/video". Just copy and paste the URL of the video into the dialog box and press "save". You can then assign a topic to share the video with selected friends and colleagues.

You can use the comment features and icons to securely communicate with friends.
