Kwout.com - A Brilliant Way to Quote

Think that screen shot and image capturing technology is as good as it gets? Kwout takes screen shots to the next level. The site allows users to capture a part of a web page to save to Flickr, Tumblr, or their own website. Not only does Kwout capture the selected area, but users can click on all hyperlinks as if they were on the original webpage- in other words, all links remain active and intact. Kwout is saved to a computer’s bookmark, so images can be captured at all times. After selecting an area and its specific size, Kwout provides a way to directly upload the image or paste in html information. Simply, Kwout is “a brilliant way to quote.”

“'kwout' is a way you quote a part of a web page as an image with an image map. To use this service, all you need is to add our bookmarklet to your favorite browser.”

Kwout could be a killer because it takes something so simple- a screen shot- and has managed to make it better. The possibilities of having links in screen shots- for tutorials, informative purposes, etc- are endless.

Is Kwout in a position to be charged with copyright infringement? Does it have a goal to make money?
