	First you google, but then what? Why is collecting and sharing, beyond photos and email, so hard? Why can't I put all my favorite stuff in one place?

Eric Goldstein: Sure I've seen two that I think are truly similar. I think there are a lot out there that some people think are similar but I think there are two lately that are truly targeting the ability to clip as opposed to an alternative to bookmark. One of them is called the Look later, and one is ClipClip.org though the last time I went there the site was down so I'm not sure if that's still ongoing but you could check ClipClip. I think the key distinctions between Clipmarks just from a person perspective and why you would want to create a Clipmark as opposed to - and I see ClipClip is still alive - but why you would want to use Clipmarks there are I think two fundamental really important differences in our technology that we took a lot of time to develop that really distinguish it from any other service that I've ever seen and I hope that remains the case as we're trying to patent them. One is the ability to clip multiple pieces of information from the same web page and so you're not limited to highlighting content on a page and having one piece of content and that's your clip. So if you're reading an article from the New York Times you can clip the first paragraph and then the second paragraph and then the eighth paragraph and then very importantly in FireFox you can click on the link to the second page and clip from there as well and when you have everything that you want gathered that's when you hit save whereas with every other solution that I've seen on the market you would have to create a different clip for each of those paragraphs and that's a very big difference in my opinion. The second major distinction between Clipmarks and any other service is that we offer you the ability to select information that would not otherwise be selectable using the highlighting method where you click and drag your mouse and that is because - I'm sure all of you that listen to this has done this in the past - quite often when you use the click and drag method of highlighting content on a page you end up grabbing information that you don't want and it's like you jump from paragraph two to paragraph three and now for whatever reason now all the advertisements on the side of the page are highlighted as well. Well now that's not acceptable if you're trying to clip just the information you want and so we've created a method where - as I've said - you click the clip it button and then as you scroll your mouse on your page various block elements basically get highlighted and then you can adjust where those highlights are and avoid that phenomenon on where you select more or different content than you really wanted to select in the first place. So those two things I really thinks establish Clipmarks as the premier solution if you're looking to clip information from the internet. clipclipStyleTemplate525
