I have a small confession to make. I have more than one
Gmail account. My primary account has used up almost 10% of it's capacity. Yowza. But for some reason I never saw this web clipping thing until today, when I randomly logged in to one of my lesser-used accounts... It appears at the top of the interface (see pic to the right), and allows you to view snippets of other sites. In the Settings there is even a tab where you can add/delete sites. I noticed our sister blog
Engadget was preloaded (thanks for the love Google, now where's Download Squad?). My question to all of you out there with gmail accounts: how many of you won this lottery and are seeing web clippings in your Gmail?

The webclips are completely useless anyway. They randomly pick something from the feeds you add and mix it in with ads. The 1 account I have with webclips only shows ads in the bar and not on the side or bottom. They are likely testing the clickthrough rate of this ad type and that's probably why most people don't see it.

I don't have, nor do I think I would use it.

I heard somewhere that your chances of getting clips increase if you submit suggestions for updates. It's worked for me.
