In my Google Alerts today I found an interesting article about
clipmarks, a social network type site that is also a very useful Blogging tool, see the demo below of a clip from the article that led me to them:
| 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). |

It is a very easy to use little tool that can be added to your Firefox browser. When using the clipper you can customise the CSS to a certain extent, which helps to stop the clips you post to your blog being too jarring, note that the border and link colours are in line with my current theme.
The version I am using is v2.0, so if you have used this service in the past you may want to update.
The site itself does also act as a social network, a bit of a
Digg type site that allows other members to vote on any publicly saved clips that you may make to your profile.
All in all a pretty good tool to have in your box of tricks, though an option of whether to post or save as a draft would be a helpful addition. Give it a go yourselves and let me know what you think.
Do you use a similar tool that you would recommend I try?

I don’t have to re-enter my passwords etc for each blog that I use but is also a disadvantage in that I have to remember to deselect the other blogs or I end up posting the same article on all of them!
