I admired their innovative way of clipping, DOM manipulation, one of the best engineering teams of our time! Well, this must be a team-hire.

Pinterest did pinning with just images, these guys did for grabbing any web content! Amazing. A great blogger tool. But once you start grabbing web content it starts to look like a bookmarking service. That's were they headed to.

I would have paid them an yearly subscription. And I don't like to bookmark URL's, rather save interesting tit-bits of web-content to my Board. ( grab those useful HN comments and add to my Clipboard)

Clipboard could have emerged as content-grabbing, content-management with collaboration, had they rolled out some paid-service model. They never even tried to speak to their users!

Founders need to be accountable for such drastic shutdowns. And if such shutdown's happen often, don't users lose trust? Users kinda lose confidence to invest their energy and time on early-starup products. Right?

I was sad about the shutdown, calling stupid names and all that. But then I tried the export feature and it is great. Now I have complete offline copy of all my clips.

Clipboard's great for clipping all sorts of things from pictures to articles and text. If you use Clipboard primarily for saving text and are looking for a replacement, you might be interested in a website called QuoteRed (http://www.quotered.com) which I built with a friend.

one of the early name ideas for Clipboard was tidbit. :)
