Zipclip
Is a service I got to check out
During the Web 2.0 expo earlier this year, but has been under pretty tight wraps
Until now. Even in its beta phase, zipclip, which is a product of mobile apps
Provider berggi, appears to be a cool service that will further connect web and
Mobile applications and media sharing. With two personal demos from the gracious
Berggi CEO Babur Ozden, I got a good idea of what this service is all about.
Zipclip operates as a downloadable application with two parts-one for your
Computer and one for your mobile phone. The two applications can now talk
Each other, and you're able to easily share media between the two devices.
Easiest way to think of zipclip is as a bookmarking tool that also supports
Mobile Access. If you come into ss a few videos, for example, on YouTube
YouTube
,
You can send them to your mobile phone and view them on your morning train ride
Commute. You can even convert these YouTube clips into ringtones, which are
Automatically plucked from the first 20 seconds of the YouTube clip, unless you
Specify otherwise with the ringtone editor that resides in your zipclip account.
Media can also be sent to friends 'mobile phones, so you're not alone in
Fun. If you 've sent content to a mobile phone (your own or your friend's), then
The content will be accessible through the mobile web, so memory isn't taken up
On your mobile device. Any content you 'd like to save on your mobile phone,
However, can be easily saved as well. Sharing content with friends on their
Mobile devices is easiest when they also have the zipclip service-if they don't
Have it then they'll be invited to immediately download the mobile application.
Working almost as a reverse Evernote
Evernote
Bookmarking tool, zipclip has most of its action directed towards the mobile
Device. There is, however, a heavy duty web side to zipclip that lets you
Access, organize, tailor and further share content that you 've clipped while
Browsing the Web. It's here that you can send content to friends (though you can
Do this while surfing too), edit ringtones, etc. So far it seems like a handy
Service for sending content to your phone, and the associated web service is
Good hub for your clipped and writable able content. I'll be watching to see how
Zipclip continues to evolve, as a cross-device media sharing tool and
Recommendation service.
