apart from other bookmarking services is
rethinking how images should be presented to
the user.” -DesignShack

interest graph

Pinterest for geeks…
37. Clipboard: Why It Stands Out
Besides having a similar experience to
Pinterest, Clipboard stands out for a few
reasons:
1) Easy to save text, not just photos:
Save tweets, articles, and photos, entire
web pages and photos.
2) Public and private clipping
functionality
3) Technology: easy to use Clipper tool
for text and photos
