Remembering the essence of a clipmark

clipper's remarks: Some thoughts i've had lately about clipmarks.

I just wanted to briefly mention a concern that I've had lately. I have recently noticed a lot of public clipmarks that contain entire articles/pages (or most of it). For two important reasons I am hoping this will change.

First, in my opinion, the key distinguishing aspect of clipmarks is that instead of simply posting links to entire web pages, we are clipping and sharing the best piece or pieces of information from within those pages (the "sweetspot" if you will). It is my opinion that clipping too much information substantially reduces the power of the clip as a way for people to quickly toggle through bits of information about all sorts of topics in less time. Basically, when it comes to a clipmark, I think that more information often results in less quality.

The second reason pertains to respecting the rights of content owners. There are many different types of clipmarks that are generated from all sorts of different web sites, so this concern certainly does not apply across the board. But, when small nuggets of information are clipped, they can serve as powerful drivers of traffic to the source of that content. In this way, content creators benefit from having their content clipped. This is fair and good for everyone. But clipping an entire page clearly lessens the likelihood of a click through to the source page because all of the information can be gathered from the clip. This is not the intention of clipmarks and, often times, is not fair to the original source of the content.

I hope the idea of clipping small pieces of information instead of entire web pages is one you will all agree creates a better experience for everyone and shows greater respect for the rights of original content creators.

Clip on!!

Ideas for Clipmarks - Part 2

clipper's remarks: So my last clip was not a big hit but the one before had good number of comments. I know I have not been using Clipmarks much lately (the clipdaddies wants me to use Amplify and the Clipmarks' original steam has been stolen by Twitter, two big distractions, but no love has been lost no matter how many old timers have jumped off the boat). But there's a lot going on here on daily basis (minus the spammers) and I'm sure you must have your list of things you like to see CM implement or change.

I feel Clipmarks needs rebranding and relaunch with more focus on social-networking aspect. Off top of my head, I can't think of anything new I wish to see here except perhaps the landing page for visitors should be their My Guides' Mix page.

More through the comments .... you add yours as well.

Thank you, Rougy44. Honesty is the best policy I always say.

The Venezuelan media was spreading lies and fomenting revolt, no unlike Fox News does here.

Chavez was perfectly right to muzzle them.

Clipmarks: NO REASON AT ALL NEEDED TO DELETE COMMENTS

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:36:16 GMT

clipped by: Spiritualmonkey
clipper's remarks: This was the thread that led to my asking Clipmarks for clarification on their comment deletion policy.

It's official. Antara, and any clipper, is allowed to delete any comment on clips they initiate, for any reason or none at all.

I personally maintain a "No personal attacks against other clippers" policy as my only reason for censoring comments.

But if I just don't like you, your politics, your hair-color, your religion, your ethnicity, sexual orientation, your city of birth, the facts you offer...

I can delete your comments, no consequences.

The deletion pop-up reads

Please only remove comments that appear to be spam or that you believe to be unquestionably outside the bounds of civility.

But that's only a suggestion.

I think this will lead to less discussion and a even more negativity and hostility between clippers, and I do hope Clipmarks reconsiders.

Clip Source: skitch.com

The original complaint: http://skitch.com/spiritualmonkey/b2wfu/clipmarks-complaint-antara

I think this is a bad decision that will lead http://clipmarks.com to become a more toxic and hostile environment, rather than fostering civil dicussion of controversial subjects.

I think if it's the Wild West as far as clip originators being able to delete comments they disagree with for no reason whatsoever, then it will become almost impossible to get opposing ideas discussed and confronted, and discussion becomes an echo chamber.

But I don't make the rules.

Lock & load, people.
