I've been using a great tool called Clipmarks for the past few weeks and it's just awesome. Given that I have a bias for sifting through a lot of information when working on a project this is exactly the sort of tool I needed because it allows me to keep track of the meaningful and useful parts of web sites I visit, thus also helping me cope with the incredible loads of information that are available. Before using Clipmarks I used to make PDF files of pages which contained some useful information. Needless to say the management of those files was a real challenge.
Features I just love with Clipmarks:
- the ability to pick several parts of a page and to save them on Clipmarks as one document (called a clip in Clipmarkese)
- the ability to send a document to friends and contacts via email
- tagging of clips
- submission of clips to del.icio.us
- the ability to organize clips as "collections" (which are pretty much like categories, but can be qualifications of privacy if you want)
- the submission of clips to a community of users who will "pop" the clip and push it to first page (a bit like Digg)
- the creation of a personal web space with all of my clips
Clipmarks is absolutely great.
It's so great to hear how much you're enjoying your Clipmarks experience Alex! Thanks for the kind words, they really help drive us forward.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you in the Clipiverse in 2007.

Keep going. You're creating something really big. Perhaps the best thing I've seen for making sense of the incredible amounts of info that are available on the web. And very smart too since you interface and collaborate with established tools I am using instead of trying to "become central" and replace what exists, a mistake many young companies make unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteReading your review (I found it via Technorati) and I have to say that I agree 100% with you. Clipmarks is the best that ever happened to me in the internet. Bookmarking was yesterday - Clipmarks is the future!
ReplyDeleteSee ya at the big Clip ;-)
The post's enthusiasm for Clipmarks captures an interesting moment when people were looking for easier ways to save and share useful pieces of information from the web. The idea of collecting small sections instead of saving whole pages feels pretty practical, especially when researching different topics online. It also shows how simple tools can change the way people organise information and discover content. For students working on research or technology-related coursework, computer science assignment helper can provide useful academic guidance, while new assignment help uk may also be helpful for wider university projects.
