Just cl1p it

Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief technology officer, introduced the idea of a Live Clipboard during his speech at this year's O'Reilly Emerging Technology (ETech) conference in San Diego (below). Now there is one at http://cl1p.net/

All you have to do is create any URL that starts with http://cl1p.net/, such as http://cl1p.net/random, and you can paste in or upload content. Go to the same URL with a different machine and you can collect it. No messing with email or messaging or FTP or whatever -- it's dead simple.

You can also cl1p something for a friend to collect: just tell them the URL and password, if any.

Note: "File uploads are limited to two megabytes. Files are limited to one download and are then removed."
