Hi this is Matt, cofounder of popsnip, we have made popsnip so that you can put the best of your search results in one place for creating highly informative articles. Popsnip allows you to collect the best content you find in the form of text snippets and images and organize them into a wiki like UI.

Here is a quick intro on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YhHWVMLpGU If you want to start using it, you will need to use the chrome, because it requires an extension.

Please let me know what you think. Any feedback is welcome.

That select and clip UI is super nice.

The concept reminds me of Google Notebook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Notebook).

Yeah its a similar concept. We hope to make it more consumable and validate the content by others, so that people can see a popsnip post and trust the content instead of having to scour the internet to ensure they have the right answer.

The validation piece is really interesting. Is it possible to make a private popsnip?

yeah, you click on the cog to right of the main title and select private.

Very cool. I always find myself wishing for something like this when I'm researching new startup ideas

nice! this would be super helpful for sending around all my research and notes from different articles in one place instead of sending around a google doc

Awesome research tool. Did you build chrome extension?

very cool idea. best of both worlds of web clipping and a wiki!
