Copy and Paste Between Web Apps
March 8, 2006 |
Ray Ozzie on copy and pasting between web applications. If they can set a standard for doing this, I am all for it. Lots of web apps today can do amazing things, but it’s the little stuff like copy and paste that is holding users back right now.
Simply stated, I’d like to extend the clipboard user model to the web.
A few weeks ago, I approached my brother Jack – who leads a Concept Development team in my group at Microsoft – and visually sketched out and storyboarded some end-to-end user scenarios that I wanted to try to accomplish. The scenarios were all centered on this new clipboard user model.
The team took me up on the challenge, and in a few short weeks had accomplished all of the scenarios, and more. And they did it using techniques that are incredibly simple, and which work securely and are browser independent.
