Online bookmarks and clippings

You know how when you’re browsing the web - whether looking at websites or blogs or videos or pictures - you come across something you’d like to save for later. There are a number of bookmarking tools out there that enable you to bookmark the page that you are on eg del.icio.us, furl or digg. These tools mark the page rather than the photo or paragraph of text or video you are specifically interested in.

I’ve come across a new service Clipmarks that lets you home in on exactly the snippet you want. It’s really easy to use. You can set it so your clippings are displayed publicly or you can keep them private. They are stored online (as with the other bookmarking services) so wherever you are, you can sign in and retrieve them. and you can clip something straight to your blog, which is what I am doing now.

No more printing out reams of web pages for future reference or racking your memory “Now I saw something about that online the other day - where was it? What was it?” and no more wondering why you saved a particular page in the first place.

If you’re already signed up to another bookmarking service like del.icou.us, Clipmarks offers streamlined integration so that whatever you clip using Clipmark also appears in your other bookmarking account automatically. They’ve thought of everything.
