New stuff in Clipmarks

12:05 am December 7. We just went live with a bunch of new features. Enjoy...

User Profile

All clippers now have the option to upload a photo and add info to their user profile. Now when you browse a member's clipmarks you can see who they are, learn more about them and contact them if they make their contact info available. You can also see their latest Clipmarks stats (and yours as
well!)

Left-side Clipmarks Navigator

To make navigating the site easier we’ve built expandable/collapsible modules for:

    1. My Clipmarks -- with tabs for ‘My Folders’ and ‘My Top Tags’
    2. Public Clipmarks -- with tabs for ‘Today’s Top Tags’ and ‘Today’s Top Clippers’
    3. Stuff I Follow -- with tabs for ‘Clippers I Follow’ and ‘Tags I Follow’

Note: you will only see the My Clipmarks and Stuff I Follow modules when you’re logged in.

Right-side Chatter

To help you keep up with the latest comments and conversations we’ve added a “Chatter” section to the right side of the page. It contains an auto-updating feed of comments as they occur on the site:

    1. My Clips tab -- latest comments on clipmarks you’ve posted
    2. Public Clips -- latest comments on all public clipmarks
    3. Chatter I’m In -- latest comments on clipmarks you've already commented on

Live Two-Way Commenting

I guess a little Ajax never hurt anyone :) Basically, you and others can exchange comments on a Clipmark without ever refreshing the page — it feels just like an instant messenger.

Follow a Tag

Clicking the (+) sign next to a tag adds that tag to your 'Tags I Follow' list. The list is located in your 'Stuff I Follow' section in the left-side navigator.

Top Clippers For This Tag

Since Clipmarks is about connecting with (i) information, (ii) links to the sources of that information and (iii) people who are “into” that information, we now show the top clippers for each tag when you perform a search or click on a tag.  Right now, it’s based on frequency of clipping, but we’re planning on making it more intelligent in the future.

ClipRoll

You can now create a ClipRoll from any set of clipmarks (the link is below the left-side navigator). Customize the style of your ClipRoll (and preview it!) then paste the block of code we give you into your blog or web site. You can publish an up-to-the-minute feed of links to your Clipmarks, the Public Clipmarks or any other set of Clipmarks (say, all Public Clipmarks tagged "web 2.0").

Great Features Guys!
Some suggestions for future stuff:

Rate public ClipMark

Online members, statistics like forum statistics.

Again, Great JOB!

I installed ClipMarks on Firefox 1.5. ClipIt seems to work but SaveIt does not. This makes the whole thing pretty useless. I tried installing it on IE and both work here. However, on IE the highlight and save does NOT work. On FireFox SaveIt lights up after highlighting but SaveIt still does not work! Looks like a GREAT extension and I really would like it to work.

[Rachel C]

This sounds strange, but is it possible to clip an entire page (like a screenshot)?

[Marjolein Hoekstra]

Hi,
About Clipmarks on Firefox: I have the Clipmarks toolbar working just fine on Firefox 1.5 final release.
I trust the Clipmarks team will pick up your issue and try to resolve it.

[eric goldstein]

Rachel,
You can expand the area to be clipped by right-clicking inside the orange lines and then using the slider that appears. Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

[eric goldstein]

Ralph,
I sent you an email about your question. This is an issue that has happened to you and one of our other users. If you get a chance, please check your email and get back to me. Thanks!

Good stuff, Eric. I'm letting my readers at Ask the Geek know about the new stuff.

John just offered your site to his readers to try - this will bring you many many many quality users.

Good Luck :-)

[eric goldstein]

Thank you. That would be nice!

I dropped some extentions and FF1.5 is no longer giving my Clipmarks problems.
I'm clippin away now. Thanx!

Are you eternalized?

Am I right in assuming that the Firefox (Mac) Clipmarks only works if you use icons in your toolbar? I normally use text instead of icons, but all I get for Clipmarks then is the drop-down arrow for the folder with the URLs in it.

[eric goldstein]

SimonF,
We are releasing an upgrade to our toolbar sometime next week that has smaller buttons as well as the choice of text and/or icons for the buttons.

It's a bit too much on the site now imo.
Can you give people options on the profile, so they can decide on their own that they want to see and what not? That'd be ace. Fore example i don't need that chatterthingy..I'd like to drop things for a better overview.

cheers from germany,
marcel

[eric goldstein]

Good point Marcel. We've been talking quite a bit lately about the site being too busy. Give us a week or two and we'll have some pretty substantial changes aimed at making it less cluttered and also a bit more customizable (including the ability to collapse the chatter). I'll post a message here as soon as they're live and look forward to hearing your feedback. Thanks!

Right-clicking inside the orange lines brings up my normal right-click menu...no slider. I can still select whatever content I need to using other methods, but I want the cool slider thingy, too. :)

Using Firefox v 1.0.7.0

Love the content-selection functionality. Nice work.

[eric goldstein]

Adam,
Try closing Firefox once and then reopening it. You should then be able to use the right-click slider from then on without any problems. Don't ask why this is...we have no idea :)

Please let me know if this solves your problem.

[Adam]

Worked better than shaking my laptop, thanks!

[eric goldstein]

Nice...glad to hear it!

[Richard Hudson]

Does the slider work only on Foxfire? I can't it to work with Explorer.

[Erde Staaten]

Yes, I have the same problem...
