New site registrations via Oct 4, 2005 PC Magazine |
While all of these sites might not be new, they were new to me and I registered recently, thanks to reading about them in the October 4, 2005 PC Magazine digitally via Zinio.
shadows - from those Pluck folks, it’s their attempt at Yahoo MyWeb and del.icio.us. Toolbar and/or bookmarklet interface. It’s ok.
clipmarks - another clip, tag and save site. You have to use their toolbar and people visit clipmarks.com to view/download clipmark collections. Too bad it requires a toolbar. The End User License Agreement lists “content provided to Amplify” so it’s from those Amplify folks. I remember Amplify. Neat idea, but it never really caught on that well. Sure enough here’s what amplify.com says:
We are excited to introduce our new technology called Clipmarks (www.clipmarks.com). Just like Ampilfy, we created Clipmarks to help you better manage the online information you care about. Though we love Amplify, we believe that Clipmarks is a more enjoyable and effective solution, so we have temporarily taken Amplify down (current users can continue to use it) so that we can focus all our resources on Clipmarks.
Hmm. Might want to be careful on how much times is spent on this one. I clipped and tagged a recent Hmm blog entry.
jeteye - classified as a community search engine users can create and share custom created jetpaks which are: “Its a collection of web links, notes, images or other jetpaks assembled by anyone about anything. They can be saved, organized, shared, or searched. ” Basically, collections of content with their own comments, generated by search result. I did a search for TDavid and it thought I meant david, grrr.
CallingID.com - an IE-only (as of this writing) toolbar that provides detailed information about a site URL in an effort to reduce phishing and pharming scams. The netcraft toolbar provides some of the same functionality but without the $39.99 annual price tag. As of this writing, you can download and try it out for the first year for free.
Did this post make you go hmm?

Recently spent some time trying out cliplmarks based on PC magazine recommendations. Its like using a highlighter on the web. rather than bookmarking a site where i found an interesting piece of information, i can clipmark that exact piece of information. It saved me a significant amount of time and is very easy to use. Lets see what the public thinks. Thanks

I have had a similarly positive experience with clipmarks. The toolbar thing is no big deal either…three small little buttons which are definitely worth having. I recommend checking it out.

I’ve been using clipmarks for almost a month. It really rocks, but I hate IE only stuff. Anyway, just posting b/c they are releasing a Mozilla version soon. Very good news. Will make a nice compliment to my Mozilla Google toolbar.

CallingID now works with Firefox as well as IE.
The screen shot is very old… now you don’t even have to go to a site to see if it’s dangerous. They put a tooltip up when you place your mouse on a link.
