Scraping content and adding it to a bookmark - 80 views

  I hope I didn't post this twice. I submitted this earlier but I don't see it on the forum.
  
  Is there or will there be a way to "scrape" content and save it to a bookmark - like what ClipMarks does? I really would like to be able to copy content to a note or something because sometimes pages that I bookmark go away, and the content is no longer there. If the page doesn't come up, then highlights are no good. Annotations are OK, but they don't let me copy any content, like a graphic or something.
  
  ClipMarks really nails this feature because you can clip an entire page, part of a page, or even multiple parts of a page and add them to a bookmark. I love this, but I can't stand their interface.

  when you highlight some text, that text is saved and clipped in a sense, though highlighted picture is not saved.
  
  Also, note that we provide caching of the original page in case it goes away.

  So how long is a page cached?
  
  I still think if you would allow users to copy content like ClipMarks, you would have a killer feature. Combining something like that with all of your other features would put Diigo at the top of the heap.
