Thanks for all the answers to the question I posted yesterday about setting a lock time for clipping.us. I’ve decided to keep the default time 5 minutes, but allow users to select from a few options: 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. You can just select your time from a drop down list and click Save & Lock to lock your clipping.

To answer a question that came up from the last post, once the clipping is unlocked, the content remains the same, it just becomes viewable and editable by anyone.

I want to keep this service super simple, but I’d be interested to know: what’s a feature you’d like to see?

Is 5 minutes the right amount of time for a clipping lock on clipping.us?
If you’re not familiar with clipping.us, check it out and read about it before answering.

I don’t want to let anyone lock a clipping url for too long (all clippings should remain temporary), but what time length would be ideal?

clipping.us update

I just updated clipping.us with two new features. The site will now save all of your clipping urls so that you can access them at the bottom right of any clipping page by clicking on ‘My Clippings.’ It saves them based on your IP, so no need for a username. I’ve also allowed the ability to lock a clipping url for a 5 minute period of time, so that it can only be viewed or edited by your own IP address. I thought this might be useful for information you’d only like to copy/paste and be seen within your own network.

This is a simple dynamic graphic I coded using Simplepie and Processing.js to visually track recent earthquakes using data from an XML feed published by usgs.gov. I think there a lot of possibilities for Processing taking over a lot of what flash is doing on the web. Hopefully some more Processing experiments soon.
