Clipmarks 2.0 introduces Clip-to-Blog, video clipping features


We mentioned Clipmarks way back in 2005 when we first discovered them, and thanks to a recent Vox update, we noticed the web clipping service just released a major new 2.0 upgrade.

On the surface, the site has received a complete redesign, featuring a sexy new layout and a live clippings monitor for public clips. The goodness, however, is far more than skin deep. There are three major new clipping features that should be a big boost to an already slick clipping service. The most significant is the ability to clip videos from YouTube and other video communities. The second major new feature is Clip-to-Blog which, as its name implies, allows you to instantly blog any of your clippings to a compatible blog service or platform. Hence the tip-off from Vox, since it's on the list.



The final major enhancement (but probably not the last on the list) is a new control bar that acts as a dashboard for taking action with/to your clippings. This is a rocking new feature that really adds some power to how you use Clipmarks and the things you store with the site.

Altogether, the new Clipmarks is a pretty impressive 2.0 upgrade, especially for a web 2.0 site.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
