In library reading rooms, books are shelved by subject and author, so it's easy to find the volume you need. With Symbaloo, you can create a collection of links to online resources on a particular topic and share the web address of the collection with students and colleagues. The collection is called a webmix in Symbaloo.
A webmix is a grid of small rectangles of 'clickable' coloured tiles, each of which takes you to a website. We can share it with others and, we can embed it in digital content on the same way with YouTube videos.

You don't even need to register to try it for the first time, you can create a collection of links, you can send the link to others, but many of the free features are only available after registration, so it's definitely worth registering.
