This.

1. I am a self-proclaimed geek & although i love the nifty way to clip only parts of a page is awesome, its confusing, even to me.

2. About being able to share whole page easily & quickly Amdahl's law ( focus on the common case, 80% of use) would say there should be a fast, frictionless way to accomplish clipping of the entire webpage(which i believe is clipboard's common case)

Now a -ve of doing this would be to increase complexity - 2 options - either clip entire page or parts of a page.

But, you can do this with a well designed ui element.

3. i made this point on the beta launch hn thread, a lot of content consumption (article reading) happens on the ipad.

feature request : find neat content (from the clipboard corpus, twitter, fb, g+, prisimatic)

the clipboard ipad apps then, download a list of the top 'n'(configurable param) of articles on hn,twitter,fb, g+, to either a. locally on ipad, so can be viewed w/o a n/w connection (reading on train, public transit usecase) b. to my clipboard a/c on the cloud c. both a & b
