But what happens when you hit Ctrl+C and then forget to hit Ctrl+V until after you've already accidentally copied something else to your clipboard? Or what if you copied a URL into an email last week but you can't find the URL or the email today?
ControlC is a new service that automatically saves everything you copy to your clipboard to your web account. Since a record of all your copies is saved online, you can copy to your hearts content, save in the knowledge that even if you accidentally overwrite the clipboard you can still find that text snippet you need. In fact, you might start hitting Ctrl+C even when you have no intention of pasting the text anywhere, just to save a URL for later.
If you copy a picture, ControlC will not store the image online. But if you copy the URL for a web image or video, you can view the pictures or video from your ControlC account. You can also mark some text, images, or videos as public if you want to share them with friends or the the larger ControlC community.
ControlC is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. The service is currently in private beta, but you can sign up for an account using the code "beta4040." Free account holders will only be able to access 5 days worth of clippings. But you can remove that restriction by signing up for a paid account for $20 for 6 months.
