Since I’m constantly searching the Web, I’m always looking for tools to help me keep track of things I find along the way. I currently use Read It Later and Speedtile for saving web pages and Amplify for sharing parts of web pages on my social networks. Well, gotProject is a new tool that also comes in handy for clipping parts of web pages, and definitely worth a look.
By simply adding a bookmarklet to your browser bookmarks bar, you can clip and save web pages, text, images and videos with just a few clicks. You can then go back to your gotProject dashboard to view all of your content and even organize them into projects.
Clipping content is easy. Once you click the bookmarklet you’ll get a popup in the top right of your window. This is where you can edit the title of your clipping or share it on Twitter and Facebook. If you just want to clip the entire page, there’s nothing left to do but click on “clip”. If you want to clip some text or an image it takes an additional step.
To clip text you simply highlight the text you want to save after clicking on the bookmarklet. The great thing about selecting text is that after you highlight it and it’s automatically added to the box, you can edit and add to the text. To clip images you’ll need to click on the image you want to save after clicking on the bookmarklet.
From your gotProject dashboard you’ll see all of your clipped items on the left hand column. In the main area is a search bar. Once you have a lot of clippings, I’m sure it will be hard to find specific items; this is where the search bar comes in handy. The main content area is also where projects are displayed. A project is basically a folder that you create and then you can add clippings to it.
There is also a note feature that lets you add notes directly on the site, which will display along with your clippings. You can double click on anything in that left hand column, in order to open it up.
gotProject is in beta so I’m sure that more features are sure to come. I would definitely love to see an option for sharing projects with friends and even a way to collaborate with friends with be nice. Even if this doesn’t happen, it’s still a great, useful tool that I plan to use quite often.
Thanks about those softwares and tricks. I'm usually using google reader "star" option for all those stuff i need later to read or do something else about them.
GotProject is just awesome !
