Web Clip Tool for Backpack

Snip 2 Backpack is a Backpack Bookmarklet that lets you snip text from a webpage and send it directly to your Backpack page as a note. First, create your bookmarklet by typing your Backpack page’s email address. Then drag your new bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar. Here’s what the end result looks like:

Love this idea… basically a web clipper for Backpack.

As I wrote about last week, I’ve made the switch from Evernote to Backpack for my workflow inbox/aggregator/containment field/processor.

One of the features of Evernote that I missed when I made this switch is Evernote’s fantastic web clipping tool. However, this closes the gap a little bit.

I say a little bit b/c this clipping tool is text only. That solves a good deal of my problems, but I’d still like to see the clipper be able to grab images as well.

BTW, I’m still in love with Backpack’s Journal feature.
