Robin Good's insight:

Kwout is a web app that allows you to grab any portion of any web page, including text and images and to easily post it on your site, blog or on your preferred social media channel.

To use Kwout you install a Firefox add-on or the Chrome extension and whenever you see content you want to "quote" you click the Kwout button and then you select the part of the page you want to quote with your mouse.

At this point you can select whether to share, tweet or embed your selected quote whereever you like. A unique feature makes it possible for all of the links contained in the part of the page you grabbed to remain fully active and clickable.

Kwout archives also all of the "quotes" you create and can auto-generate a page that shows your history of cited content.

P.S.: This is not a new tool and it has not been updated since 2011 but it is still working fine.

Free to use.

Captura cualquier parte de una página Web o post para incrustarla en cualquier lugar con Kwout

Kwout es una aplicación web que te permite capturar cualquier parte de cualquier página web, incluyendo el texto y las imágenes y te permite publicarla fácilmente en tu sitio, blog o en su canal de medios sociales preferido.

Para utilizar Kwout debes instalar un complemento o extensión de Firefox o Chrome y cada vez que veas algún contenido que deseas "citar" debes hacer clic en el botón "Kwout" y luego seleccionas la parte de la página que deseas capturar con el ratón.

En este punto puedes seleccionar si deseas compartir, tweetear o si deseas integrar la cita seleccionada en el lugar que prefieras.

Una característica única hace posible que todos los enlaces contenidos en la "captura" permanezcan en plena actividad y te lleven al lugar indicado al hacer clic.

Al mismo tiempo todas las "citas" y archivos que crees con Kwout pueden generar automáticamente una página que muestra el historial de los contenidos citados.

PS: Esta herramienta no es nueva y no ha sido actualizada desde 2011, pero todavía está trabajando muy bien.

De uso libre.

Robin Good's insight:

Dragdis is a web app and browser extension which allows you to easily grab and collect just about any image, text, video or link you find on the web. By simply clicking and dragging anything you find on a web page, triggers the Dragdis browser extension which showcases all of your personal folders and gives you the possibility to drag your item in your preferred collection.

The way Dragdis works is as simple as it can get, and seeing visually your folders on the side of your browser makes the "collecting" experience really easy.

You can create as many collections as you like, invite friends, and re-organize collections, folder names and items collected as you like.

Dragdis also makes it easy to search within your collected items as well as within any item collected by other Dragdis users.

Free to use.

Try it out now: https://www.dragdis.com/

More info on how to use it: http://www.howtousedragdis.com/

The Dragdis browser extension is available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari here: https://www.dragdis.com/Me#/pages/Extension (you need to be logged in)

Dragdis is still in private beta as I write, but you can leave your email and request to be invited.

Robin Good's insight:

Favebucket is a web app which allows you to easily clip any web page, video or content and to organize according to categories (buckets) and tags.

An integrated bookmarklet makes it easy to clip any content on any web page, while suggesting relevant tags and the option to add each item to a bucket (collection).

Individual contents saved with Favebucket can be easily shared on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Organization of tags and buckets, search and navigation are extremely effective.

In addition Favebucket is readying a series of utilities to import your bookmarks from other services. The first one supported is soon-to-be-closed Clipboard.com.

My comments: Navigation and search through the tags and buckets system is extremely effective and speedy allowing easy grouping and finding of related items.

The major limitation is that buckets (collections of items) cannot be easily embedded on another site or published publicly at a unique URL.

Good for private curation and bookmarking work.

Free to use.

Herramienta que te permite guardar cualquier página web, vídeo o contenido y organizarlo en categorias y etiquetas, algo que resulta muy fácil gracias a su bookmarklet.

Además estos contenidos pueden ser facilmente compartidos en nuestras redes sociales favoritas (Facebook, Twitter...).

After having played around with this a little bit, I must say that I found the instructions a bit lacking. Matter of fact, I wrote them a 'customer service' email with my question and got no reply. In their instructions they show two steps but I could only intuitively find one. Furthermore, I hate it when companies don't think that their product to have a tutorial with an actual human voice but rather throw up some cute little video might get and award for cute music and animation but isn't worth crap to actually telling people how the damn thing works.

[UPDATE] Hi, we are happy to say that we have done extensive work on all the feedback we received from many people and the we will publish a series of releases in the upcoming week and thereafter to meet many [not all] of the expectations people have.

Even though we understand that some Favebucketeers miss functionality it is also fair to say that in this startup stage it is impossible to do everything at once. The upcoming release will deliver browser extensions and many other new features (like several import functions) and even more important, improvements that make Favebucket faster and even more stable.
