RedirectThis wrt Live Clipboard
Marc explains the difference between RedirectThis an Live Clipboard. I think I even understand this.
When you use the clipboard you copy a MicroContent Item and then you go somewhere (application or web-page), and then you paste. The problem is the going somewhere. That is troublesome. It costs time. And probably for a specific MicroContent Item you will probably always go to the same place. Thus for an image you go to Flickr, for an event to EventFul, for a recipe to MacGourmet, etc.
Instead of copying the MicroContent Item, you would like to say "add this item to Flickr", "add this Item to MacGourmet", "add this Item to my default blog-system", etc. I get the feeling that this is what RedirectThis wants to do. And in some sense it is similar to the Services on the Mac. It is about piping various applications and web-services together. And it would be even better if you could create scripts to tie all these appications and web-services together.
