FAQ
Why did you create Tizmos?
Like most people, we have a handful of sites we check every time we get on the internet.
Checking these sites usually involved navigating to the sites manually or going
through the browser's bookmarks/favorites menu. The problem with the latter approach
is that you can't access these favorites on different computers unless you install
some sort of plugin. With Tizmos, you can open your browser on any computer, go
to Tizmos.com and see the sites you usually check and get to them
easily. To get started using Tizmos, create an account.
