totally legendary web applications

I’m also having a lot of fun with this little application. It’s like Digg, but with a nifty little difference. You install the IE or FF plugin, and then when you find a webpage that you like, you simply activate Clipmarks, and click on the elements of the page that you like - text, video, images - and then save your Clipmark. This way you’re saving all the best parts of the page you’re visiting. Very cool.

With Clipmarks, you can clip the best parts of web pages. ClipSearch lets you search the full content of everything you clip. It’s like having your own personal search engine. When you save clips publicly, you’re adding to a global library of interesting things people have found online. Together we’re building a fully searchable, filtered version of the web.

A bonus for blog-owners is that your clipped elements can be posted directly to your blog. Blogger, WordPress, Typepad, LiveJournal, Movable Type and Vox are all supported and users can clip to blog in seconds.

Personally, I find the site a tiny bit cumbersome, although the Ajax interface is quite powerful and performs pretty quickly.
