A lot of great content is being clipped right now with Bundlr. To make sure you don't miss it, we improved the activity page with better suggestions and made it the new homepage.

And there's more! Now you can like and reclip the best clips you find. It's a nice way to let someone know they're doing a good job, and keep your bundles updated with new content.

Finally, after talking about saving articles, photos and text selections, there's still a large number of other media you can also clip with Bundlr. It supports videos, music, podcasts, presentations, products and many more.

And once again, you don't need to do anything different. Just click on the Bundlr button and it should detected the kind of service your clipping from.

Here's an example for a YouTube video:

    and another for a SoundCloud song:

You probably noticed already you can follow users and bundles inside Bundlr. You just need to click on the blue Follow button.

But did you know there are also RSS feeds for users and bundles? You can get notifications of new bundles a user created, or new clips added to a bundle on your feed reader. Just look for the orange RSS icon on your browser, or add ".rss" to a Bundlr user or bundle URL, to get the feed.

Here's how a bundle feed looks like on the Yoleo reader:

You could already pick an individual clip image as the cover of a bundle. Now there's another way.

The edit bundle page now includes a preview of the bundle cover and let's you switch to other possible images, taken from the latest clips inside that bundle.

We noticed that some events started using Bundlr to collect media around them: photos taken at the event, slides and videos of the talks, comments from Twitter, Facebook... So we decided to launch a special campaign for event organizers.

We're offering a free premium account for events that want to become our partners and use Bundlr to organize and share their content. It's a great way to save a snapshot of an event and keep the conversation going. Know more at: http://bundlr.com/events

Another useful clipping feature is the ability to clip just a specific part of a text, when you don't want to clip the whole article, for example.

You just need to select it (click and drag across it) before or after clicking the Bundlr browser button. The clipping widget will tell you how many characters you've selected, like you can see below:

This way, only the text you selected will appear on your bundle:

On certain web pages, you don't want to save just a link and a description. If you're on a blog or a newspaper website, you probably want to save an entire article.

In those situations, you don't need to do anything different. Just click on the Clip button on Bundlr's browser widget and it'll grab the article's text, if it finds one on the page.

Here is an example of the result:

We're starting a series of How To posts here on our blog. This is the start of our future Help section.

One cool Bundlr feature that is sometimes overlooked if the ability to clip a particular image inside a website. It's useful when a picture illustrates better the a certain article, or you just want to save an inspirational photo. And it's very easy to use:

1. While browsing an interesting page, click on the Bundlr browser button or bookmarklet, like you would normally do. You will notice that, on the top-right of each image, a red "Clip image" button will appear, like the one below:

2. Just select the bundle you want and press the button above the image you want to clip. An image clip will be added to your selected bundle. It should look like this:

We try our best so that our clipper find the correct information from the websites you clip. But sometimes, some particular pages come with a format we're not expecting, and the clipper stumbles a bit.

Now you can edit a clip's title and description (the short text on the grid and list views), in order to perfect the final result. Just open the clip and choose Edit Clip on the Options dropdown, like shown in the image below.
