Snip.it was a social platform for creating collections of articles, videos, and images on the web. Users create and maintain theme-based collections around interests such as politics, science, education, and fashion. Users can browse other collections, 'resnip' from another users collection into their own, comment on or favorite a snip, share on other social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Reddit), and review stats on where their page traffic comes from.{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2012/06/26/snip-it-revamp-analytics-new-features/|title=TechCrunch - Hands-On With The Newly Revamped Snip.it: Where Pinterest Meets News, And So Much More|date=27 June 2012 }}
