Clipmarks: the WordPress widgetAlright, in all fairness, I haven’t used this a lot yet. But it’s a living example of software that does a straightforward, understandable thing that saves me a lot of time — surrounded by a warm human context. It’s a fool’s errand to find things you enjoy, but not be able to share them with others: this widget is my gateway between the Clipmarks community and my blog, helping me aggregate my info and my opinions on how I perceive the world. Cuts down on redundancy, raises the smiles.

What excites me so much about seeing this in the open is the visible and inspiring improvements — not unlike strong narrative, I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!

All the best. =)
