10 Online Clipboards for Easy Text Sharing

by in Articles

Communicating and sharing our text online started with a great invention called Email. Since that time many services were introduced that followed that same objective. Today our methods of passing messages have come a long way, and the arrival of micro-blogging and its obvious dominance in that area, entailed the creation of services that would cover the limitations of the famous 140 characters we always seem to run out of.

Assume the following scenario: You are communicating with a friend using Twitter; suddenly, a question that requires a detailed answer; you have a million reasons for not wanting to use your email; what to do? Well, online clipboards are the answer. Just go to your preferred site, enter the lengthy text that your friend is expecting, click on the generate/submit button, and voila; a nice short link that you can pass to your friend without worrying about characters real estate or the need to login anywhere.

Today’s roundup is about that, and as an added bonus some of the listed sites offer some extra features such as password protection, attachments, text formatting for both regular messages and code snippets.

    microblogging is nice but it also limits how much you can say about your daily activities-*;

    Unquestionably consider that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest factor to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while folks consider issues that they just do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks

    Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to mention that I have really loved surfing around your weblog posts.

    Thanks for the detailed list. Another great tool is Britely.com. I have found it helpful but it quickly changed my workflow for saving the articles that I really want to use. (Plus it’s a huge relief from evernote guilt – EN is great for searching when I know what I want to find, but it’s just not designed for learning new ideas.) Britely is still in beta (invite only for now) and I think you can sign up for an invite on their site.
