One hint I’ve learned from reddit is to use archive.is when you want to highlight some article online for commenting. It’s a webpage capture system, free, and easy to use. It does 2 things:
1. Archives how the article existed at that specific date/time, and
2. Deny’s the website the ‘clicks’.
I just have a separate window open to archive.is, copy/paste the media’s webpage URL that I want to capture, let it do it’s thing, and it will return a new URL to the captured webpage to post on facebook, reddit, FR, etc.
From their website:
Archive.is is a time capsule for web pages!
It takes a ‘snapshot’ of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears.
It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy
and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page
including those from Web 2.0 sites:
http://archive.is/2013.05.01/http://nickqizhu.github.io/dc.js/
http://archive.is/2014.06.26/https://www.google.com/maps/…;
This can be useful if you want to take a ‘snapshot’ a page which could change soon: price list, job offer, real estate listing, drunk blog post, ...
Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!
Thanks for the info about archive of web pages.
Is this similar to Mozilla’s pocket list?
