Offline, people are great at keeping scrapbooks full everything from knitting patterns to family photos. But until now, if you’ve ever wanted to keep your own Internet style scrapbook its been tricky. It has been possible by grabbing screen shots, copying text and code, but these methods have always been far from elegant.

ClipClip is like a big Internet scrapbook with added Web 2.0 social aspects. Sign up, add a bookmarklet to your browser, and grab a copy of the section of the page you want to keep. You can categorize your clippings by activity, such as recipes, technical tips, girls I fancy, etc.  And of course, because it community driven you can tag your clips, search for ‘em and share them with your friends. It’s very new and in development, and seems to be a bit of a spam magnet at present, but none the less a promising and useful way of keeping interesting bits of web content.

when you find something on the web, you can cut out only the most interesting part preserving the look and feel rather than bookmarking bunch of links.”

So rather than getting caught up in archiving links upon links you get more for your bookmarking and tagging outlay. PLUS a little widget that sits on your browser so that anytime the fancy takes you it’s one click ClipClip. I think this can be very useful way to generate references you can aggressively share.
