Today we changed the name of the clipmarks site from the Navigator to the Clip Exchange. You'll see a number of places where this is referred to (ex: the address bar in your browser and the navigation tree at the top of the middle column). There are two important reasons for the name change:
- Though organizing, finding and archiving information are all meaningful aspect of clipmarks, we are most passionate and driven by creating an environment where information and ideas can fluidly be exchanged via clipmarks that are posted. Without sounding too dramatic, we think this is what can ultimately make clipmarks a special place that has a meaningful impact on the web and on people's lives.
- Much like a stock exchange, the Clip Exchange is set up to allow the market (in our case, the clipmarks community) to decide what goes up and what falls. By popping clipmarks, the ones that we all collectively like best will rise to the top. And, much like the price of a stock, the perceived value of a clipmark can rise and fall over time. Of course, unlike a stock exchange, the Clip Exchange is global and it's open 365X24X7 to everyone and anyone.
