Live Clipboard
Wiring the Web
Introduction
Ray Ozzie wants to wire the web. And so should you.
Let's say you have two sites both of which understand calendar data. I want to move an appointment from one site to another. With Live Clipboard, there is now an icon on each site, next to each piece of data that can be transported. Bring site A to the front, click on the icon and choose Copy, then bring site B to the front, click on the icon and choose Paste.
Live Clipboard uses Javascript and standard XML formats to easily move data from one web site to another, or between the web and standard applications. It extends the clipboard concept (familiar to most computer users) to the web.
The Icons
In much the same way that the community is aiming to standardize on the
icon for RSS feeds,
I believe that a similar, standardized icon for Live Clipboard items will
help promote its use.
The icons available here are inspired by the RSS icons, and are meant to complement them. I'm also indebited to Matt Brett and his work promoting the RSS icons at feedicons.com, which was part of the inspiration for this site.
Use Them
These icons have been released into the public domain. They are free for you to use in any way you want (although donations are appreciated).
