System and Method of Storing, Editing and Sharing Selected Regions of Digital Content
First Claim
1. A method for sharing a portion of digital content presented on a computing device interface, comprising:
- selecting a region of digital content presented on a computing device interface to form a clipping;
associating a tag or link with the clipping that directs a user back to the digital content clipped; and
presenting the clipping on the computing device interface with at least one selectable option for transmitting the clipping to a remote location via a communications network.

Abstract
A system and method of storing, editing and sharing selected regions of digital content is described. The system and method include a software application, or tool, executable from any type of network enabled computing device that allows a user to select a region of any size and shape from the digital content and transmit the selected region to another computing device or to an accessible web data feed. The application or tool also associates at least one tag or link with the clipping that directs a user to the source of the clipped digital content when the tag or link is activated. The system and method may also be executable from a digital camera, whereby a user selects any portion of the viewing area prior to executing the snapshot, such that the selected region becomes the saved image, or picture taken, which can then be transmitted to any network enabled computing device.

14. A system for saving portions of visual digital media images, comprising:
-
a clipping tool executable from a network enabled computing device, the clipping tool comprising an adjustable window that defines a perimeter around a portion of a digital media image viewable on a visual display of the computing device to generate a clipping of the digital media image; wherein the clipping tool associates a tag or link with the clipping that is directed to at least a portion of the digital media image and transmits the clipping to a stream of clippings via a data feed, such that individual clippings within the stream of clippings are accessible by a computing device via a communications network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An embedded social network application, comprising:
-
a clipping tool executable from a network enabled computing device, the clipping tool comprising an adjustable window that defines a perimeter around a portion of a digital media image viewable on a visual display of the computing device to generate a clipping of the digital media image; and a stream of clippings populated via a data feed of clippings generated by the clipping tool, wherein individual clippings within the stream of clippings are accessible by other computing devices via a communications network, and wherein each clipping includes at least one tag or link directed to the source of the digital media image from which the clipping was generated. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23)
