So here's a nice little step forward for webapp-kind: Live Clipboard, a somewhat small bit of technological innovation, but a firm step forward in actually delivering the promises that were made about computers decades ago (easy sharing of information). I say this not to belittle the effort at all; on the contrary, interoperability between different pieces of software is a huge thing, but something that you would totally take for granted if you weren't aware of the inner workings of software. Image and text copy and paste has been here for a while, but more semantically rich copy and paste is even more exciting (if you actually get worked up about these things like I do).

Someone (not me) said... "Imagine what it will be like, the first time somebody reaches for Right-Click/Copy in a Web app and it does exactly what they expect."
