1. I used to post a lot of pictures on my blog
2. I somtimes even posted videos
3. A post would often just consist of a few good links that I’d stumbled upon
4. Or maybe just a brief update on what I was doing or where I was
5. Or maybe a recap of a few news items

Now

1. I post my pictures on Flickr
2. For vid’s I point to youtube
3. My links are on de.licio.us
4. Precense update and tiny posts (less than 140 characters) are done via Jaiku
5. And interesting news items are aggregated in my Google Reader shared items

So what’s left for the blog?

Well – writing, I guess. Posts that are lengthy enough that they couldn’t just as well be written on my mobile phone.

The people who read my blog know where my pictures are, they know my Jaiku page and through there they’ll be updated on everything I post on Flickr, de.licio.us, Google Reader etc., so there’s really no point in repeating that stuff here, right?

This place is for writing. Well that and reading of course… heavy…

Clipmarks is a free online service that lets you mark parts of a web page.

You turn on clipmarks (after installing an extension for either IE, Firefox or, in my case, Flock) and simply click on the parts of a page you want to bookmark.

When you’re done selecting text, pictures or even video, you save your clippings, and can then choose to publish them to your clipmarks page or your blog, or you can send them to a friend as an email.

What kinda ticked me off when I first signed up to clipmarks, is that I’ve been using de.licio.us for a while, and I really didn’t need the hazzle of keeping two services up to snuff.

But I quickly learned that in your clipmarks profile you can choose to bookmark either the permalink (yes – all of your clippings get a permalink, which is a really nice little feature) or the source of your clipping – that is the original page, as you would normally do – to your de.licio.us account. This is done automatically, so you don’t have to remember it from time to time.

If you do a lot of bookmarking, and you like sharing your bookmarks, clipmarks could very well be the thing for you.

I’ve clipped part of the clipmarks frontpage as a test – here’s the permalink
