ClipBoard. Un pinterest like plus collaboratif. Clipboard: A Slick New Way to Save and Share the Web. It’s tempting to compare Clipboard, a new service that’s launching today, to Pinterest. Actually, it’s irresistible: Clipboard, like Pinterest, lets you collect interesting tidbits from all over the web, then share them in “boards” which piece together all the tidbits on one page. And Clipboard, unlike Pinterest, lets you share web content of all sorts: images, videos, text and more, preserving the original layout and formatting.
But Clipboard isn’t just a Pinterest variant. It’s also a way to save parts of the web for later reference without ever sharing them with anyone else — something I’ve been doing lately with Evernote — and therefore a useful research tool as much as an exercise in social networking. You save stuff to Clipboard by using a special bookmark (or a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox) which lets you hover your mouse on any web page and highlight either the entire page or part of it, such as an image, a snippet of text, a video, or a combination thereof. Pinterest is for fun, Clipboard is for getting things done. Clipboard Goes Mobile With “Private Pinterest” By Andrew James On August 3, 2012 Clipboard CEO Gary Flake, three-time regional wrestling champ and former R&D lead at both Yahoo and Microsoft, once said in a TED speech that “the whole of the data that we consume is greater than the sum of its parts.”
That seems to be his touch-off point for Clipboard, which officially launched in May. At first blush, Clipboard looks a bit like a Pinterest clone. But the focus isn’t on creating static boards of content, it’s on the ability to pin any content on the Web and have it posted to the site in its original format, meaning links, videos, and layouts are retained on the site.
Flake even showed a pnned Flash game that was fully usable inside Clipboard. “It seems broken that we’re not able to save Web content,” says Flake. Apart from the sleek technology that runs the clipping, it’s the privacy and product focus that sets Clipboard apart. As for the clips, Flake says they’ve surpassed the “Uncanny Valley of Clip Quality”. Clipboard, un nouvel outil pour faire de la curation. Clipboard ferme son service le 30 juin 2013, racheté par Salesforce. Il existe de nombreux outils curatifs sur la toile, et Clipboard se veut être le petit nouveau. Encore en béta et accessible sur invitation, Clipboard propose un concept sur la forme quelque peu différente de ce que l'on peut voir actuellement avec scoopit ou encore pearltrees pour ne citer que ces deux types d'utilisations. Ici, ce qui change, c'est que l'on peut choisir plutôt facilement les parties des sites que l'on veut ajouter dans notre "timeline".
Un paragraphe, un vidéo, une image... Ca se passe par l'intermédiaire d'un bookmarklet qui va, un peu comme une application installée, activer cette fonction, et créer un espace bleuté que l'on peut réduire ou agrandir avec la souris (toutefois, la prise en main n'est pas évidente au début). le contenu à apprivoiser est aussi semi-automatique en fonction de l'endroit où se trouve le pointeur.
