NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clipmarks (www.clipmarks.com), the leader in Web clipping technology, today announces the release of Clipmarks 2.0 - offering new features that include support for video and a first-of-its-kind blogging tool. With Clipmarks 2.0, users can clip text, images and video from within Web pages and instantly post that content to their blog.
"Our goal has always been to change the way people save and share the information they find on the Web, moving beyond bookmarks to focus on the content inside the page that matters most," said Eric Goldstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Clipmarks. "Enabling people to post what they clip directly to their blog was the natural next step in our development. Combined with support for video, we believe Clipmarks 2.0 offers a compelling way for people to capture all the highlights of their Web experience."
The Clip-to-Blog feature makes it easy for people to add fresh content to their blogs. When users come across something on the Web that they want to add to their site, they can instantly Clip-to-Blog it, eliminating the back and forth of copy and paste. The service is compatible with all leading blogging platforms, including Blogger, Wordpress and all Six Apart services (TypePad, LiveJournal, Movable Type, and Vox).
"Clipmarks is a smart way to discover the Web - each clip is the size of an idea," said Anil Dash, Vice President of Six Apart. "And once you've discovered those new ideas, the natural way to share them is through blogging. So it's exciting to see Clipmarks make that sharing easy, fun and efficient with Clip-to-Blog."
Clipmarks made its name by offering an alternative to bookmarks. Much like magazine or newspaper clippings, Clipmarks allows users to clip just the pieces of the page they want to save or share. Users can save their clips on clipmarks.com, post them to their blog, or email them to friends. The Clipmarks Web site has become home to a vibrant community of clippers who share the interesting things they find on the Web, comment on each other's clips and "pop" their favorite clips to the top for others to see.
In addition to the Clip-to-Blog feature, Clipmarks 2.0 enables users to clip videos from YouTube and other leading video sites. Clipmarks has also been enhanced to allow the easy selection of multiple sentences - not just entire paragraphs. Current users will notice that the Clipmarks browser add-on has been reduced from four buttons to one. The Clipmarks Web site has undergone a redesign that provides a cleaner and more efficient user interface.
Clipmarks 2.0 is a free browser add-on available for Firefox, Internet Explorer and Flock. For more information or to become a registered user, please visit www.clipmarks.com.
