I just find we need a more powerful search functions, search by titles, search by members, search by sources, tags, contents...

Here is his Clipmarks profile (his name is the same here and on YouTube): http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thathoo/sort/newest-clips+latest-pops+latest-comments/

I only wish that one of my clips would have been made famous...

I'll second that Zephyrgong. I have had little luck searching for things before I consider clipping. Kind of out of courtesy to see if someone else has submitted (dupe).

When it comes to finding things, sans Google, I go about browsing what other people have clipped. The tag cloud and collections are neat features for sure.

While on features, why not embedding a little flag when saving the clip wether it is pop-able?

Sweet.
You definitely need to put some kind of screencast on the learn more page.
And a more powerful search feature should be priority number one. Searching clip-content and maybe some kind of fuzzy tag-searching is really needed to make the site more functional.

I posted it to del.icio.us and Blinklist. A very good video that can visually show people the attractive features of Clipmarks; big props to thathoo. I think from time to time, we (as users) could do such things. What about the Wikipedia entry project, Sohil proposed months ago?

Though we do not have title and or content searching yet, we do allow you to do your own fuzzy tag searching. For example, if you do a search for car*, you will get results for cartoon, car, cars, carpet, carbon, etc... Another example would be *toon* that would return cartoon, toon, toons, etc. You can also do boolean searches using the standard and, or and not qualifiers. So, if you are looking for jokes about g. bush, you could search for "bush and jokes" or "joke* or humor and *bush". The latter would return results that contain one of the tags joke, jokes, joking, humor and one of the tags bush, george bush, etc... I will see what we can do about getting this information into our faq.

Oh nice,
I knew boolean searches were possible, but was totally clueless for the * wildcard.
Thx for this info.

Good, glad to see tag cloud making a come back at CM. I have a question, I have few tags which I use strictly on my private clips, I noticed that when I bring up my private collection, I can see those tags of mine in the tag list, but the same are not showing up in the cloud box, is this by design? No biggie though.

I have learned to appreciate the usefullnes of tags and searching, I think delicious have the best tagging system, although I can't claim to have mastered the use of tags, but tags should be easy enough to choose from but not too easy to be overwhelmed, so far I have not come across any intelligent tagging system anywhere, anything which guides the proper use and restricts when...

One thing that clipmarks needs is threaded commenting. There's some serious space limitations going on, but there's got to be some way to show threading. Perhaps replies will be hidden, but the fact that there are replies will be shown. For example you would see this comment, and then somewhere see "Show replies" and they would either slide out from under it, or display on a css overlay (with full threading, since we're laying over the standard 2 column format.

Me too! And I'm not sure if this is a new or old feature, but I love the 'expand' option at the bottom right of the clip viewing pane.

Thread commenting seems like a nice idea, but wouldn't it drag the column and would need more space?

I think Tags at CM needs lots of improvement.

But their collection feature seems under or over utilized, I think collection is the best way to minimize the number of tags and it can be used to effectively file clips for easy search. I love the collection feature here at CM.
