I use Google Notebook for this sort of thing (or used to)-- how does this compare to that? Is there a key difference I should check out first?

  My memory from using Notebook is that you copied and pasted text and images into what was basically an online word processor. You might think of clipng as half-way between Notebook and Delicious -- the stuff you pick out of a page is kept as a discrete unit inside clipng's database along with a link to the original. Injecting things is done via a bookmarklet so it's pretty quick and you don't need to visit clipng to do it. So I think the key difference is that clipng is faster and less intrusive to use.

    I'm talking more about the Firefox extension they have. Where you basically select text on the page (including images, etc) and then click Google's notebook button-- it will index that, store the snippet, etc. http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/tour1.html http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/tour1.html

      Interesting, I hadn't noticed that feature. Pretty similar then, although I used a bookmarklet rather than a browser extension. Personally I prefer the bookmarklet because it works in most browsers and I generally don't use FireFox.
