Clipboard: Cloud clipboard in Pinterest mode

Clipboard, the online content preservation and sharing service, has closed the testing phase recently and is officially open to all. The latest Clipboard combines the advantages of the cloud storage service Dropbox and the picture-sharing service Pinterest. It not only makes it easy for users to collect valuable online content, but also allows users to share content with others, and creates a brand new social graph.

The term "Clipboard" means the clipboard, and the Clipboard web service is a virtual clipboard based on cloud storage. Users can “cut” the web content that they want to collect, and then “paste” it to a “board” that resembles Pinterest. These “boards” can be only for private collections, and can also be shared with some people.

Clipboard users can share their favorite content with "@" users simply by using the "@" reminder common to other social networks. In addition, Clipboard not only shares network content, but also “moves” the original page's code intact, thus preserving the links on the original page. For example, if the user “clips” a page on the movie review database IMDB. , all the links on this page that link to the relevant actors page can be retained - this is more practical than Pinterest's simple capture function.

In addition to content collection and sharing, the latest Clipboard has also enhanced social functions so that users can follow each other and create a new social graph. If Facebook is a simulated social network based on real human relationships, and Pinterest is a picture-based social network based on personal interests and hobbies, then Clipboard is a content-based social network based on personal collections.

Gary Flake, the founder of Clipboard, once participated in the creation of Microsoft Live Labs. He believes that the preservation of online content is the “fourth wave of hot spots in the Internet field” and believes that Clipboard can eventually replace bookmark sites like Delicious and Pinterest.
