If someone could cut this "work flow" down to a single click I'd be happy. I don't really need to tag things....
I used to use spurl for this, then they died. I then switched to diigo, which I quite like mostly for the simple chrome extension; high light text, click the extension icon, add tags if I want, save. If someone could cut this "work flow" down to a single click I'd be happy. I don't really need to tag things....
I like the idea but I dislike the design of the quotes themselves. All the same type and all the same size, the only differentiation being color. Even the format seems "weak" in that there are no lines or anchors for my eye to follow and every "quote" appears slightly differently. The design turned me off, and I think you can accomplish a much better looking and easily digestible product from text!
This is really interesting. Could you go into a little more detail about what you mean by each quote appearing slightly differently. We're trying to use the break provided by the author and the tags on the RHS to separate the quotes - but I guess this isn't really working?
Because of this, every single quote appears different. For some reason, I think that standard content like read more should be standardized to help me find easy anchors while browsing quickly.
That way, when I look at a quote, the only deviating part of the design is the unique content itself, and I can be sure that if it's deviating, it's the content I'm looking for.
As it stands, it's difficult for me to parse the whole list as identical elements with differing content, and instead I'm seeing them all as different going down.
EDIT: I also do not like that you preserve tabbing from the users input. It's useful in theory but since your url content relies on a tab as well, it creates a very weird dynamic while looking down the page where a tab doesn't really mean anything, because it means something different everytime I see one.
EDIT2: I'm not a designer (but I fancy myself an amateur) and if I was in charge of the layout, I'd probably have done something like: http://i.imgur.com/o0s9UZl.png -- The subtext is noticably smaller, the url is shortened for consistency and length, and the two aspects of the subtext are floating left and right for solid, consistent anchors.
EDIT3: Coming back to it, I went a slightly different direction: http://i.imgur.com/jfFcB1N.png
I know you're not looking for design advice, I just had fun playing with someone else's work. Thanks :)
Just my opinion, however, take what I say as a user story and nothing more!
I know there are some other options posted, so I figure I'd throw my own side-hobby out there http://mxplx.com/ is an open-source project I wrote to keep track of my favorite quotes (memes), link them to references, triple them to other memes, and gather them in lists (schemas). I never got around to adding a clipping-tool to it, but I did interface with Google Books to make gathering book references easier.
It's unnecessarily erudite, ugly, and I turned off new signups so you'd need to download the source from github or google code if you want to play with it (I do include a copy of the database complete with my personal collection of quotes and references on Git), but I'm posting it here because someone might find something of interest in it.
I love the look and feel of this. I wish I had such a good eye for design.

Great tool. Any plans for a browser plugin that lets people see what others have highlighted on a given page?
This looks excellent and well executed. It's disappointing that the only login option is via Facebook, but it's cool that one can also try the service without login in at all. Although after one adds the bookmarklet to one's bookmark bar and comes back to the site, we are caught in an endless loop of step-1-2-3 where we are indefinitely asked to add the bookmarklet again...?
I'd just like to mention that https://gimmebar.com allows you to save text snippets in a similar manner, in addition to pretty much any other media type, and doesn't require you to use Facebook for login. Disclaimer: We (Fictive Kin) built Gimme Bar, so there's quite a bit of bias in my previous statement.
Point taken on the Facebook login - will look to provide other means of logging in! Very cool video on gimmebar.com.
You should be able to get it integrated in an hour or so, and I'd be happy to double-check your code (or submit a pull request myself) if you'd like.

Have you considered Mozilla Persona? https://voo.st is pretty successfully using Facebook and Persona together for auth, at least the last I heard from them. You should be able to get it integrated in an hour or so, and I'd be happy to double-check your code (or submit a pull request myself) if you'd like.
