An ingenious new web tool has come our way and it makes building your own blog and/or web site super easy with a drag and drop interface and the potential to never have to touch the site's html. You're welcome.
One of the newest members of the Social Web is Scrapplet: an emerging slate for combining and mobilizing distributed Web profiles, brand and content. Scrapplet is a customizable pallet for aggregating social profiles as well as a showcase for ideas, experiences, and expertise.
In a nutshell, Scrapplet is a new solution that lets you exert full creative control by aggregating your whole life into a single and unified place on the WWW. In a certain sense, it could be said that Scrapplet combines the power of the many social networking services and related social sites and you can even drag your friend profiles onto it...
If you have some interesting stuff right now on your twitter stream and also on Friendfeed and if you like to capture it somewhere, what will you do? May be use some screen capture plugins like Snag-it or Fireshot? Now you can capture and post it on a webpage in lesser time than using snag-it! Check out Scrapplet which lets you drag and drop literally anything from any website and place it in your Scrapplet homepage!
What started as a Facebook app has grown into a full-fledged stand-alone service that lets you make scrapbooks (of sorts) from web content you find interesting or have created elsewhere on the web. RadWebTech has just launched Scrapplet, an alternative to services like Netvibes or even Tumblr, as it lets you collect items from across the web as well as integrated content from social networking and microblogging sites.
Version 1 may not be intended for the masses just yet, however, the vision and mission for Scrapplet is to ultimately help everyone more effectively manage and present their distributed brand and persona, regardless of technical prowess. For those who can't wait, just view the tutorials and explore the options and menus - everything quickly comes into focus. With a little ingenuity and creativity, you'll find the options almost limitless for creating and sharing a more engaging and centralized online presence...
If you look at it the geeky way Scrapplet is incredible: it lets you drag and drop pieces of the web over to your canvas and create a new web page. The technology underneath is absolutely incredible...
(Scoble then goes on to state that Scrapplet is great for geeks but needs refinement for the masses -- absolutely true! smr.)
There are destination sites, and there are aggregation sites. There are enterprise-grade Web sites and then there are templates, easy to use for the average layperson. And then there is Scrapplet, a unique Web application that acts as a open slate for you to pull in data from around the Web, embedding images, RSS feeds, videos, and even complete Web sites, into a single page. The goal? Leverage the Web browser as the delivery vehicle, requiring no third party installations, and make your personalized site whatever you want it to be...
RadWebTech, a company that specializes in Web technologies, announced Monday that it has opened its hallmark service, Scrapplet, to the public. Scrapplet was formally in private beta.
There are a few sites out there that let you aggregate your entire online presence into a single place, but for the most part they offer little control over the way your information is actually presented. Today sees the launch of Scrapplet, a powerful new website/platform based entirely on JavaScript that allows users to design pages combining all of this information to their liking using a WYSIWYG interface. The site also offers a dizzying array of options - so many, in fact, that the site could be used by experienced developers to create pages that go far beyond showing off your interests and favorite photos.
"I have been using this wonderful addition to Facebook recently, called Scrapplet which has just been developed and launched by Steve Repetti.
