Forbes considers buying Clipmarks

Forbes and ClipmarksVentureBeat is reporting that Forbes Magazine is acquiring web bookmarking service Clipmarks.

It looks like the truth of the matter is a bit more complicated. Clipmarks CEO Eric Goldstein "clipmarked" the story himself and left some comments.

In a nutshell, Clipmarks has been in talks with Forbes and other companies about financial backing for the site. It does seem like a Forbes deal could be in the works, but Goldstein describes the VentureBeat article as "premature."

The odd thing about all of this is that Forbes is reportedly interested in buying the service because Forbes reporters use it to organize and share information. Eventually you could see Clipmarks used in articles at Forbes' web site. But do they really need to buy the company to do that?
