Abstract
An implementation allows a user to select an area of interest in a content source and to clip content from the area of interest. A variety of content types may be clipped and presented to a user, and the clipped content may be refreshed from the selected area of interest. Various configuration parameters, as well as the clipped content, may be stored for future retrieval by a clipping application that presents the clipped content. Methods, computer program products, systems, and data structures are provided. One method includes providing a presentation of content copied from a designated area of interest in a content source, maintaining information identifying the designated area of interest, requesting, automatically, new content from the designated area of interest using the maintained information, and updating the presentation with the new content.
