We’re all selling something today, because even if we aren’t literally selling something (though thanks to the Internet as well as the entrepreneurial ideal, more and more of us are), we’re always selling ourselves.

1. It just works - I have never encountered an issue with the bookmarklet not formatting an article correctly.
