here comes Sni.ps

this one is for the bloggers…my good friend David Gratton and his company in Vancouver are developing amazing new technology which allows you to “snip” almost anything from a web page. i mean flash, text,  photos, youtube videos, almost anything. The application encodes the source of the media and then allows you to tag and save it for blogging or posting later. If you blog you can check it out here http://sni.ps/

these are some of the things ive been snipping:)

The whole “for serious bloggers” kind of offends me. Also, I dragged that little button up the toolbar and nothing happened. So I’m inclined not to like it. Maybe snips hates Vista…

@alex, i didnt say “for the serious bloggers” i said “for the bloggers”. you could be a casual blogger or a lazy blogger, either way its a tool still a cool tool for getting media into your blog.
if you send rob at Sni.ps a report of the error, he’ll get back to you with the “why”

I’m sorry! I wasn’t suggesting that YOU had said “for the serious blogger”, but on the sni.ps home page it clearly states “Sni.ps is a simple attribution tool for serious bloggers.” in giant letters.

I don’t know, that kind of rubs me the wrong way. And makes me want to try it less. It kind of sends the message that some blogs aren’t good enough for thier fine product.

But maybe I’m over-analyzing.

It is pretty cool though.

Cool! It’s like snap.com but even better. With this tool blogging becomes more attractive.
One of the most useful apps that I saw lately.

@alex - if you are using IE7, dragging doesn’t work. Just right click on the button, add to favorites and choose links folder. Great app and I am a very casual blogger! :)

Aha! I got it now. Thanks shannon! ^_^

I have to say, the more I use it, the more I like it. I take back my previous misgivings.
