Of note: we (Fictive Kin, fictivekin.com) created Gimme Bar. We also created LeakedIn (leakedin.org) which is currently sharing the front page. Thanks for the busy two days of dev-ops scrambling, friends. (-: Let's try to keep DDoSing to a lower level than yesterday, though, please. (-: S
Fix _that_ problem, and _then_ I'll consider using your service.
Their bookmarklet lets you clip an arbitrary region of a webpage, AND IT ACTUALLY PRESERVES THE DOM OF THAT REGION. That's right, it's not a screenshot. The dom of what you clipped is preserved, searchable, selectable, styleable, the works.
I have found that I can visually retrieve the clipping by quickly scanning my entire clipping collection in one scroll. It's nuts.
No, I do not work for clipboard, but I do use it for all of the following: - Saving solid guitar tabs that I've found around the web. - Bookmarking photoshop and illustrator tutorials, using the best graphic from the tutorial as the clipping - Recipes, which usually consist of text and images - Random awesome images - Slideshare presentations (which can actually be watched from within the clipping
They're bookmarklet is totally magic sauce. You gotta try it out.
Don't talk to me about "forever". There is no forever. There is only "until we get bought and shut the service down." Fix _that_ problem, and _then_ I'll consider using your service.
I use Gimme Bar and love it. I also use Pinboard. Pinboard I use for pointers to things - GitHub projects that might come in handy in the future, development/design resources, particularly interesting Wikipedia articles, and other things like interviews and magazine articles. But there's some stuff that I want to keep. I used to have a `~/box` folder on my Mac where I'd keep pictures, quotes, and screenshots of web p…
FYI, if you want to recover the origin of those ~/box pictures, they may have the original URL and referring URL stored in their metadata. Anything saved from a web browser should have this information in it. You can use "mdls" to see it. I put a quick and dirty python library to get and set these values at: https://gist.github.com/2889617 (I use it to backup this data.) This field can also help you find the source o…

They store files on your Dropbox. Granted, there is no guarantee that Dropbox will last forever but there aren't guarantees on most (all?) things lasting forever and Dropbox will sync the files to your local disk.
I use a really hackish perl script to wget, diff, and wget -r websites in this way, because articles disappear way too much for my liking. This product looks wonderful and I'll be playing around with the API as soon as I have a spare moment. Thankyou for this.
Thanks FictiveKin for being amazing :)
(also - syncs via Dropbox to my hard drive. That's forever enough for me)
