CopyTaste Enters Clipping Blogging Space

fyi…they compare CopyTaste with Clipmarks. Not sure I agree.

Amplify’d from news.cnet.com

CopyTaste is a new service that lets you very quickly post text, photos, and videos to an anonymously hosted page. Think of it like blogging, but without a destination page, or any breadcrumbs that lead back to your identity.

What makes CopyTaste really interesting is that you can in fact associate one or more of your posts with an existing profile.
You can also go and look at what other people have shared, which puts it in line with services like ClipMarks, Jeteye, Diigo, and others.

Some Cliplove from a Web Educator

Amplify’d from www.tommarch.com
Do you ever (always?) find yourself with a dozen browser windows or tabs open - great sites that you really should bookmark or blog about?  Are you secretly relieved when the browser crashes under this weight and you lose these gems forever?  Although I’ve played with it for over a year, it wasn’t until I decided to use Clipmarks to track the Trends just mentioned.  Sure, I’d love to blog about each instance, but some days so much is happening, I could never h ope to.  Now I use Clipmarks to gather sections of Web pages, add a brief (thank you!) comment and tag the clip for easy sorting and reference.  Then, instead of making a blog post for each, I’ve embedded a Clipmarks window at TomMarch.com that invites you to look if you like while I have a well-classified set of references for later articles or presentations.  Do yourself a favor and become a “clipper.”

For you baseball fans, “web gems” just took on a whole new meaning :)
