Tool of the week:

Cuttings.me

What is it?

An easy to use portfolio tool created by a freelance journalist for freelance journalists.

How is it of use to journalists?

Cuttings.me was built by freelance journalist Nicholas Holmes who wanted a way of presenting links to his best work. <img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43313" height="398" src="?cmd=ShowAsset&amp;assetID=43906&amp;nosurround=true&amp;fakeExtension=.jpg" title="Cuttings" width="540"> Launched in October

, Cuttings.me now has thousands of links and is being used by journalists from the BBC to the New York Times to Al Jazeera. You can see Nicholas Holmes' portfolio at Cuttings.me/nicholasholmes .

Last week it was been adapted and redesigned with the help of feedback from other users.

As of this today, Cuttings.me has a "multimedia clippings" feature, which opens up Cuttings.me for broadcast journalists too.

Another feature released today is RSS, allowing anyone who wants to subscribe to a feed of your best work to have an easy way of doing so.

RSS was "one of the most-requested features since the redesigned site launched late last year", according to Holmes, who is is tourism Editor at AFP/Relaxnews and a freelance contributor to other publications including the Independent.

There used to be something here that couldn't be migrated - please contact us at info@journalism.co.uk if you'd like to see this updated!
