Scissorsfly
Scissorsfly.com (beta) promises to allow you to:
Clip pieces from the web
Organize your clips
Edit your own board
Share the world
Big promises. Let's see how it stacks up.
Ease of use
Not so good.
First of all, the Chrome extension does not allow you to add a new board. You have to do that at your Scissorsfly home page. Once you add a new board, it isn't visible on your home page, even though the count of boards goes up. To see your boards, you click on the "Organize" link on the top bar.
Well, how about adding content? I tried first with my recipe. Scissorsfly has a neat feature that lets you select a rectangle of the screen, which is great. But it didn't actually work. The little extension icon showed a spinning circle for 12 minutes before I restarted the browser. Nothing had been added to my board. A second try yielded the same results.
Based on this, Scissorsfly is not ready to come out of beta yet.
Privacy/sharability and the granularity thereof
Again, not so good. A board is private, or it is shared with the world. There is no way (that I could find) to share a board with a coworker or a best friend.
Comments
Not sure. Couldn't get this far.
Content storage - NOT a bookmarking service
If they get their service functioning correctly, Scissorsfly would probably pass this test. I think.
How does it handle text?
Not well. I looks like Scissorsfly will take pictures of the web, rather than looking at text as text. But it's hard to be sure.
