Browser Snapshot Sharing – January 2010 Ideas
The twenty-seventh idea for my 365 social ideas is an idea which has spun off my “investigation” of the SnapABug service: create a bookmarklet, that when clicked let’s you mark a section of the current webpage you are viewing (in it’s current state etc.) and then snapshots this and uploads the image to your image sharing service of choice – popular choices being flickr or more shoot-from-the-hip style services like tinypic.
Why?
Sharing snapshots of what you see currently is difficult. It is a lot easier on a Mac than on Windows, though Windows 7 has made it easier, but sharing it on the web still requires that you go to some website, browse for the image locally and upload in order to obtain a shareable url. If you had a simple bookmarklet as explained above, this process would be much easier.
What’s next?
Do with this idea whatever you like – expand, implement, trash or forget. Just remember, that if you use it in anyway make sure to attribute me according to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, that all these 365 Social Ideas are published under.
