Robin Good: Clipix is a Pinterest-like clipping and collection app which allows you to capture images and content from any web page and to organize it in custom visual boards.
Other key features include a "Price Drop Alert" which emails you when the price of one of the commercial products you have clipped drops and "...For example you might have a multiboard that you call “Recipe Ideas” and inside you’d have 3 clipboards: Baking Recipes, Soup Recipes, and Health Recipes.
The easiest way to create a multiboard is by dragging one clipboard from the icon in the lower right-hand corner into another clipboard."

Sounds cool, if only Pinterest didn't exist already (or zillions of other similar websites for that matter). thanks for curating and sharing though.

Thank you Lelapin. The world is beautiful because it is varied. Pinterest will soon lose its "mojo" to many of these more specialized clones, which will provide more immediate value to those specifically interested in that specific area or application. I may be wrong but this is what I expect to happen.

Here's a new take on Pinterest, but it looks like personal use only.
Scoop.it!
Robin Good: NotesCloud is a new curation service which allows you to collect, organize, and share any type of content you have into beautiful magazine-like layouts. “Imagine a tool that is always at hand when you stumble upon or dream up something interesting,” NotesCloud uses the metaphor of a multi-section notebook to organize snippets and notes. People can create their own hierarchies of notebooks, sections, and pages as they curate their topics. Unlike Pinterest or Evernote, NotesCloud’s structured storage metaphor encourages some organization, so it’s not just a “shoebox” full of random clippings." (Source: Venturebeat) Notescloud is equipped with a set of browser-based clipping tools for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, that make it possible to easily grab and save any content you’re looking at online with just two clicks. The content curated and organized with NotesCloud can be accessed from tablets and smartphones as well as desktop browsers. Free to use.

Need to stay organised? The solution is literally in your pocket -- your smartphone. Countless people (students, businesspeople, creatives, etc.) use mobile productivity apps like Evernote, Easily.Do, and Any.DO to stay on top of things. Which mobile app helps you organise your life? Here are some more tips to help you be the most organised… Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) , michel verstrepen

Robin Good: Thanks to the guys behind Mind42 and SimpleMeet.me who created a new kind of collection, gathering and curation space, that looks like at first, as an infinite cork board on which you can stick anything.
"Each board is an infinite space which resembles a virtual cork board - hence the default cork background, but other backgrounds are available.
On these boards, items can be put.
Currently Spaaze offers 7 different items: Labels Notes Bookmarks Images Files Videos and HTML.
These items can be edited in place, moved via drag and drop and positioned freely on the board.
...
To add some structure to the board it's possible to "remember" certain points (around which items have been placed) by creating hotspots (e.g. one per topic of a bookmark collection)."
Spaaze is also a collaborative service, allowing board owners to invite others to collaborate and contribute to any specific board.
Spaaze works across all browsers (IE7+, FF4+, Safari4+, Chrome) and on the iPad too.
The basic service is free, but to use it without any kind of limitation it requires buying credit points or activating a very inexpensive ($3/mo) subscription.
