cl1p.net – The Internet Clipboard
Wednesday 12 April 2006 - Filed under Default
A site that just showed up on the Trends list today is called cl1p.net. The idea over there is to create a super-simple internet clipboard. You create an entry by adding a word or some numbers to the website address after a /. So for instance I made my own by going to cl1p.net/davidsterry and posting a comment.
There have been sites like rafb.net and pastebin.com that have allowed for a little more powerful use of this concept but cl1p.net may have broader appeal. Mainly those sites have been used by chat rooms to be able to talk about code or text that someone’s creating but that would generally muck up the flow of the chatroom. If you don’t go to any chatrooms, it’s actually kind of hard to find a site like this or to know that they even exist. That’s why I figured I’d mention it here.
Alternatives are(as cl1p.net mentions) using email or you could setup an account with Writely and just use a document there to transfer text from one computer to another. It could be a fad…it’s certainly come out of nowhere as the author’s blog shows March of this year was it’s inception. One thing I find funny though is that you can set a password on a page that doesn’t hide the info you posted….it just keeps others from changing it.
Here’s an idea … go to cl1p.net/(some random common word) to see what other people have pasted!

Thanks for dropping by David. I first saw it at Chris Pirillo’s site, but I can see you beat us to the punch. Good luck with your IT business and I will be sure to drop by your office next time I’m in Redwood.
