Hiljuti leidsin järjekordse väärt täienduse maailma parimale brauserile — CustomizeGoogle on Firefox’i laiend (extension), mille abil saab peenhäälestada Google’i otsingutulemusi ja teisigi Google’i teenuseid. Vaatame siis…

Here is what I see that Google’s new product does:

1) Creates a bookmark to the page that you were on when you did the notebook thing.

2) Takes whatever text you had highlighted at the time and makes that sorf of “your notes” about that page that is now bookmarked in their system.

3) Allows you then to go in and edit those notes to add your own text, or whatever. With a little html-like editor.

4) Allows you then to go in and look at all your notebook items in the typical Google ugly fashion.

5) No Tagging

6) No Community

Meanwhile, the Clipmarks featureset is completely different:

1) Allows you to clip many pieces from one site or page, or several sites or pages and aggregate into what is called a clipmark.

2) Allows you to tag these entries for later search retrieval, sharing, networking, etc. Tagclouds help you to find interesting tags easily.

3) Allows you to then quickly and easily send those clippings into a set of “bookmarking” sites like Delicious, etc.

4) Provides an intuitive UI to go and look at your clippings, search them, etc.

5) Provides a commenting and popping system to foster actual social interaction around your clippings.

6) Provides a way to subscribe to an RSS feed for a tag or a person.

7) Provides a way to make Clips public or private.

8) Lets you subscribe to other people who Clip

9) Provides a print function that lets you print out pages which originally could not be printed well because of design errors. Plus, the fact that you can clip content from different or multiple pages in one Clipmark, makes printing what you care about minus the clutter very effective.

10) All of this is completely integrated into your browser.

thx for reading and hope you dont mind me speaking my mind….
