ControlC

ControlC is a service that’s halfway between a social bookmarking tool and an archive utility.
It monitors the clipboard activity and automatically stores any copied text, links, pictures or bookmarklets to a web account.

You can set ControlC to either keep your clipboard data private or make it public and available to other ControlC users.

All content uploaded from your clipboard is encrypted to protect your data completely. They remain private until you manually “unlock” them for public viewing.

You can search for other users’ copied links and text to find people that share your interests. The service requires a  software to log your clipboard items and upload them to ControlC’s servers. Keep an eye on your clipboard as its contents are automatically uploaded. The service is free to use, but after five days the clipboard items are hidden.
