Only2Clicks is a web browsing tool intended to make life easier for internet users. The use can create a single space that contains all their favorite URLs, displayed as images rather than text links. The user can drag and drop each item to arrange them in a way that works best for the user. Users can also create a centralized search area that includes all their favorite search engines with easily identifiable icons. Familiar logos, such as Google and Wikipedia are displayed with customizations. For example, a separate icon is available for Google Maps that utilizes the same logo with a map background. The user can search directly on the page. An Only2Clicks bookmarklet can be added to the user’s page to make adding links easier.

Only2Clicks appeared in 2007. The service was intended to make life easier on internet users by streamlining their browsing and searching experience. The application has lived up to its intended purpose and has received a handful of positive reviews from users. That being said, the application hasn’t received as much attention as it could if additional functions and features were added to make it more practical and appealing to a wider range of users.

Only2Clicks gives users a way to create a visually appealing collection of their most frequently visited bookmarks. The drag and drop interface makes it easier to use than some alternatives. The link is displayed as an icon rather than a text list like most browser bookmarks are stored.Only2Clicks has certainly put a prettier face on the process of saving and organizing bookmarks. The design is what really makes the application unique.

Only2Clicks was clearly designed with the user’s convenience in mind. Anyone can easily grasp the concept and start organizing their bookmarks with minimal effort. The drag and drop interface lets users position their bookmarks in any order. The user can see exactly what their finished collection will look like as they position each URL. Unique icons provide familiar logos that let the user jump right to each item without squinting through a text list.

A new user can try Only2Clicks by clicking the orange “Create an Account” link in the upper, right hand corner of the homepage (inside the “Sign In” box). The form on the next page asks the user to supply a name, email address, password and country location. The site will pre-populate the user’s links with their location information (whenever applicable). After submitting the form, the user is shown simple instructions and can begin utilizing their new Only2Clicks account.

Only2Clicks offers its service to all users for free. There is no cost to sign up or maintain an account. All users receive the same level of access to all current features. The user does not have to make a purchase or complete any specific activities to maintain account access. The free price is right where it should be for the level of service provided by Only2Clicks. Charging a fee would only deter users from giving the application a try.

Only2Clicks is ideal for users who do a lot of web browsing and searching on a daily basis. Users who prefer visual lists over text will really love the application. Casual internet users may not browse often enough to justify the use of a tool like Only2Clicks. For others, the application can help streamline the browsing and searching process and save a lot of time and effort in organizing and accessing bookmarks.
