Audible's new "Clip" feature
http://www.thestreet.com/story/13493...-passages.html
I don't see any big advantage sending a 45 second clip to someone. |

I don't get it either. I suspect it is a marketing thing, i.e. the marketeers thought it would be great to have. I would have preferred something that I might use, like play list, cough, cough.

I haven't tried this Clip feature, but it *might* be useful to send a clipping to one's computer naive parent (or grandparent, if you are young!) who would be flummoxed at trying to find a "sample" link if you sent them to the audiobook page. cough .... my mother ... cough
Not that I've even tried her on audiobooks yet, but I have been thinking of it. |

Wonder if folks will start using audiobook "clips" for ringtones...
