The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats about Symbaloo.com.

Strengths

It compiles your commonly visited sites all to one convenient spot.
It is SIMPLE! FREE for the most part
Recognizable pictures and logos (marketing already knows this and rakes in on it!)
Starts you out with a general template.
Personalized Organization!
It is social. Shares info with other users.
Language selection.
Gives updates about new features for the tool.
IPhone, IPad.
Quick links
You can rate pages, so others can find what they need.
Has a personalized help forum connected to a human tech person. In Community.

Weaknesses
Although it is simple, the tutorials are hard to find. Discouraging. (go to help, no where to be found)
Can get disorganized, if you let it. (Expand the pages.)
I do not like how it adds pages to the top, I think that can lead to becoming disorganized to a new user. Feels like I have less control. I just want to browse, not add pages that might be junk.

Opportunities
In blog, it gives great ideas for teachers.
Classroom organizer, attached to other sites like classroom wiki, google docs, class blog, schedule.
Portfolios.
Public or private sharing
Can assist students with making Screencasts, brings everything together to make it convenient and quick.

Threats/ issues
Some users complained that their page had gone missing and that when they logged in it took them to a blank new user page. There are still some kinks to be worked out.
There are complications when users update to the latest versions of Firefox, internet explorer, and Google chrome. Problem: students often like to have the most current versions.
This page does have a social aspect to it, some school security systems may block it.
SYMBALOO EDU may be accepted easier.

Overall, there are way more strengths than weaknesses.
