Another Useless Service - ControlC

A new startup called ControlC runs all copy and paste functions through a web service.  Essentially when you copy something, a permanent copy is saved to your account.  You can then go back through your permanent clipboard online or share items on your clipboard publicly.

Which brings me to the questions… what’s the point?  I can’t recall any time where I have wanted to share information on my clipboard with the public.  Or anytime I wanted information on my clipboard from 2 weeks ago.  If MSWord ever asks me on close whether I want to keep the contents on the clipboard, I answer no.  If there was a quick button to see your clipboard history, then fine, but logging in to an online account to get this info is a hassle.

But if you want to try them out, they’re in private beta.  Use code beta4040 when signing up.
