Web snipping with eSnips

In a comment I read in an eSnips folder, someone asked how to post web snips. Web snipping is one of my favorite eSnips features and uploading web snippets to eSnips is easy and quick.
Web snippets are pieces or a whole web page that can be uploaded and saved in your eSnips account. Instead of bookmarking the entire page, you can capture the part of the page you're interested in and save only that section.
Unlike dynamic web pages that might be altered or go away altogether, the web snippet you saved will remain in your eSnips folder for as long as you want it to.

First you need the eSnips toolbar, which you can download here. After installation, whenever you visit a website and see something you'd like to save, highlight the section with your mouse, click on "Save Selection" on your eSnips toolbar, describe it, tag it and upload it to your account. It's as easy as it sounds!   
You can also save and upload the entire page to eSnips, just click on the "Page" button on the eSnips toolbar and you'll upload the complete page to your account.
You can practice web snipping by following the steps on our "Getting Started" page.

Did you know that you can also edit the content of the web snippet? When uploading the section you chose, click on the "Edit Content" link at the bottom of the thumbnail - a window will pop up and in it you will be able to highlight the text, edit it and more.

 

Web snipping with eSnips is the best way to save and share the content you find on the web.

Hi,
1. Bug report: I just added a DESCRIPTION to a websnippet I uploaded earlier. I hit the SAVE CHANGES Button. Then I went to my FOLDERS view (via the link, NOT by the BACK button). Then I went again to the folder and to the item and went to EDIT the description. Guess what - the description I added wasn't there. Tried the entire scenario twice to be sure.

2. Idea: add the option for users to report bugs (i.e. connect your bug tracking system to your website - allowing us users to report bugs. have 1 guy in the QA read all the bugs reported by users deleting duplicate reports, and making other reports more readable for your programmers. You put 1 QA job on that and you get dozens of free QA testers who know the user experience and what users want better than your product managers can ever know. Think about it.

Hi, I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this but I'm trying to link a sound file to my blog but I have been unsuccessfull so far. I've upload the file to one of my folders and created a widget but cannot create a straight link from by blog to the file. The link i've created now opens my folder but not the file if that makes sense.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'm not familiar with the bug you mentioned, we'll definitely look into it.
As for the widgets, you can create a widget for any kind of file you want and it would link to the file directly. Try creating it by clicking the "Create Widget" button when viewing the individual file.
I hope this helps, I'll contact you guys directly to follow up :)
