Incredible resource of hard-to-find content

A fantastic resource comprising of artworks, essays, audio and books. You can also subscribe to the Public Domain newsletter to find out what has recently been featured.

This could be a great resource for both educators and students.

I've always been wanting archive pages from the web to go back to again. Here is a way to help you do that. 

Handig app om dingen die je op het web tegenkomt van aantekeningen te voorzien en te bewaren.

I haven't read this article but I'm seriously interested in the question implied in the title.....i.e. how to 'mark up' information and get them on the web.  In many cases, I think that's adequate for most people's purpose.

I have yet to find a tool that I found really comfortable for doing that.  Maybe this is it.

Maria Popova is the author of Literary Jukebox, a fascinating collection of daily quotes from her favorite books, each one thematically matched to a song.

She writes about it: "Sometimes, the connections will be fairly obvious. Other times, they might be more esoteric and require some reflection." 

Literary Jukebox is truly a work of love and a great example of how curating something you truly enjoy, can create permanent value, while providing cultural insight, an opportunity for music discovery to the reader as well as exposure and visibility to the books and music authors included.

N.B.: I encourage you to support Maria's work, as she is a brilliant and inspiring mind and her work on Brain Pickings is a clear demonstration of someone whose work benefits no big brand, advertiser or sponsor, but the likes of you and me and our ability to remain curious.

Clipular is Chrome browser extension and web app which is capable of capturing any text, web page, image, video, diagram or any other content you can see on a web page, wile indexing the text it contains and letting you organize it into public/private collections.

The Clipular capturing tool can capture full web pages, or any portion that you specify.

Captured content can be tagged (assigned to one or more categories), commented and easily shared on your preferred social media channels.

Clipular "boards" (collections) can be set to be private or can be publicly shared.

There is an import function to bring in your existing Clipboard.com collections. (Unfortunately, the display of web pages imported in this fashion is quite disappointing as they are forced to appear - even when clicked on - at a thumbnail size).

A unique organizational feature called "Group" lets you easily grab items from your dashboard and throw them easily into a new or existing collection.

A collection can be published / displayed in one of four different modes:

a) Magazine

b) Poster

c) Story

d) Pattern

My comment: This is an excellent content capturing and organization tool, meant for internal work and not for publishing collections to the public (at least for now). The capturing tool is extremely effective, and the organizational features also work very well. The display, in the main dashboard and the four display modes do have some margin of improvement. Good alternative to Pinterest when you need not so much to collect images, but rather web pages, text excerpts, video collections or other materials.

Free to use.
