So, I am apparently the first person to webolt on the lower info desk as I still had to install the clipmark application.

It works well for what it is made to do, but it seems kind of lack luster. What am I reading that I can't just finish it? I also don't see this as being any less work than copying and pasting into a word document.

On the clipmarks page there is an area where you can see what other people are clipping and some kind of inane babble back and forth type of thing. Next to this is something about a widget. I had only heard this word in reference to beer. It's what's in Guinness bottles, that noisy thing that rattle about when they're empty. So, I did a quick wikipedia search for widget and found that widget is used in a variety of contexts. This is one of them:

"In computer programming, a widget (or control) is an element of a graphical user interface(GUI) that displays an information arrangement changeable by the user, such as a window or a text box. "

That was taken directly from wikipedia. The only hard part about that was taking out all the html code so that it wasn't underlined and blue and bold and other obnoxious things in various areas. It was very easy. And, if I really needed to finish reading that article and it was of importance, I would remember "widgets" and be able to find it easily.

I'm sure this is useful for somebody, but I don't find myself likely to be using it in the future.
