I test drive many personal content archiving tools because I spend a lot of time collecting things I might write about. I mostly use Evernote for this purpose, but the price hike for the paid version and downsizing of the free option has me looking around. My issue with Evernote is not that I object to paying for content I use a lot, but because I cannot understand why companies seem to lack a reasonable price point between the free and lowest paid version. The lowest price paid point usually offers far more than most casual users need so the actual benefit seems expensive.
Anyway, I came across a Google+ post pointing to an earlier recommendation for Clipix. I don’t think Clipix will meet my needs (I will explain), but it may be useful for others. Clipix is cross-platform and cross-device. It is relatively easy to use and works fast. It allows the isolation of content into multiple clipboards and it allows sharing.
The content that Clipix captures consists of images (it does associate the URL with the image). Your options are to store what you can view within the visible window of your browser or a smaller portion you select. I had difficulty with the selection tool and it appears to have limits on the size of what you select even though the selection tool allows you identify more. The limitation I have with image-based capture is the inability to actually isolate text and to apply search to text. I suppose you can add text via annotation, but
The limitation I have with image-based capture is the inability to actually isolate text and to apply search to text. I suppose you can add text via annotation, but search of the archived text is also helpful.
My personal strategies may not be limitations for others and the price is certainly right.
