Everybody’s got them. Folders on your desktop. Folders in your mail. I’ve even got folders for my website book marks. But what help is that level of organization when I marked a website three months ago that had an interesting article? It’s now three months later, and when I want to share that link with a friend or post it to my blog it’s a hassle. I have no idea what site it was really on, or if the page’s content has changed. Enter Clipmarks.

Clipmarks goes beyond bookmarking and allows you to “clip” articles and even pieces of articles or pictures or videos. No more marking of the entire URL. Simply clip what you want and go. As a Mac user, in many ways clipmarks reminds me of the Grab application, only now you can aggregate all your snippets into a social media tool. You can make friends with other “clippers” and view your clips in a cool “clipcast”.

What I like best about clipmarks is that anything you clip can be shared cross social media platforms. What I like more about clipmarks is that they make sharing as simple as 1 click. Don’t have a blog or website supported by their system? No problem. Clipmarks will provide you with the code to embed every one of your clips. All of this can be done by simply adding the clipmarks widget to your toolbar. The only downside I can see is that it isn’t Safari compatible, but you can use it on Firefox.

As an avid tumblr user, simplicity is key for me, and clipmarks is a great new tool that makes it easy for me to organize the bits and pieces of the Internet that I like and want to revisit and share. As an interactive marketer, clipmarks is great because it’s another social media tool that evokes conversation. Users can comment on one another’s clips or even rate them with “pops” which is basically an online “thumbs-up.” I wouldn’t go as far as saying clipmarks is a clip version of digg.com, but it definitely allows people to share online content and have an open conversation about it.
