Findings is a free web app which allows you to clip, collect, organize into collections and share your favorite text passages, quotes on the web.
Simply install the dedicated bookmarklet and then select any text on any web page and save it within Findings and inside your preferred custom-created collection.
You can easily share your individual "findings" as well as your collections on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest, while having the opportunity to visually style each one of your findings into a "quote card" with a unique combination of color and fonts.
The display of your findings collection can be set in one of six different display modes: slides, boxed, discussion, carousel, list and wall, a great plus for personalizing your curated work.
The "findings" main hub is a treasure trove of great phrases and citations already grabbed and archived by thousands of users on just about any topic you can think of. Just search for your selected keywords and you can find lots of interesting stuff with full credit and attribution to the original source.
N.B.: The Chrome extension reveals Findings' community annotations —
highlights and comments made by the Findings community as you browse the web.
My comment: Excellent tool to find inspirational quotes to complement an article or other content piece. Offers also opportunity to serendipitously discover pre-filtered valuable quotes from authors and sources you may have not met before. Ahead of the group in offering multiple useful display formats (six) for curated collections.
Free to use.
