Abstract
Methods, computer program products, systems and data structures are described to assist a user in identifying a number of potential areas of interest and selecting an area of interest suitable for clipping as the user navigates around a content source. In some implementations, the content source can be parsed and evaluated to identify one or more structural elements that may contain one or more potential areas of interest. The identified elements are then presented to the user.
