New Media wonks are jumping on the Clip-to-blog bandwagon

August 2nd, 2007

I’ve been working hard on some new stuff for Clipmarks and admittedly haven’t been paying as much attention as I’d like to the quiet traction that Clip-to-blog is gaining in the New Media space.

Clip-to-blog lets you clip the best parts of a web page and easily post them to your blog, and I’ve always hoped that my new media friends would see it as a great tool for keeping your blog up to date with fresh, relevant content. Recently, the awesome Adam Broitman wrote me for a little help getting clip-to-blog running on a.mediacirc.us, and he’s now clipping up a storm. Podcaster extraordinaire C.C. Chapman has also posted a few clips, and now new-media mavens Julia Patricia Roy and Amanda Mooney are going to town as well.

I’d love to hear from anyone else using Clip-to-blog - how it worked for you, if you liked it, what we can do to improve, etc. One thing that we’re definitely looking at is adding the ability to post to a specific category, what else should we add?

    Clip-to-Blog is amazing. I had wanted to start a blog for over a year but didn’t think I would have the time to maintain daily posts. Clip-to-Blog makes it possible, because of how easy it is. I can simply use the Clipmarks application to “clip” snip-its of news or facts I find interesting and insert my two cents in the comments box and hit publish– and there is my blog post, done. Its easy, and the clips give the post a dynamic look!

    Hi Erik,
    Thanks for including Julia and I in your post. Clipmarks is definitely one of my favorite new sites (out of the thousands that are dropped onto the Web each day:). One thing I love about clip-to-blog functionality is that it makes blogging so easy and effortless for a new blogger or someone rushed for time. Being able to reference an article or Web-based content is a nice cross between daily link posts and an original, composed blog post.

    Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking with one of my favorite podcasters, Bryan Person (http://www.bryper.com/) who told me he wanted to start clipping but was having an issue with his plugin. Maybe you can drop him a quick email to touch base?

    Looking forward to seeing you at PodCamp.
