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.
