ZipClip Provides Easy Web-to-Mobile Media Sharing

 

• 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 to
  each other, and you’re able to easily share media between the two devices. The
  easiest way to think of ZipClip is as a bookmarking tool that also supports
  mobile access. If you come across a few videos, for example, on 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 the
  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

  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 a
  good hub for your clipped and shareable content. I’ll be watching to see how
  ZipClip continues to evolve, as a cross-device media sharing tool and
  recommendation service.
