Hey fellow hacker, the web app is cool. My suggestion a good value add would be writing browser extensions. You can start with Google Chrome since its all HTML + JS. You might want to think about Safari, IE and Firefox later.
This is awesome! However, I'm using IE right now (I'm at work, there's no way I would use IE on purpose) and the button doesn't drag to the bookmark bar. Is the button necessary? Maybe after highlighting, the share dialog just pops up. Maybe it can be enabled/disabled for when users need to highlight for other reasons.
Great job tho. I like the idea and I'll be using it when I get home.

I'm afraid to ask what version of IE you use, since I succeed to drag the bookmarklet in IE9 :) I've found the following workaround for IE users:
1. Right-click on the link
2. Select "Add to Favorites"
3. Click "Yes" on security warning
4. Select "Favorites Bar" from the "create in" dropdown
5. Click "Add" button

I'm using IE8 on XP and I'm afraid the work-around doesn't work for me. Thanks for the reply, I'll let you know how it goes on my home system (latest chrome, linux)
It's very good. Maybe you can add comments to the quote (similar to the Diigo comment highlight). So your friends can , comment direct on that quote.
That is very cool. I don't think I'll ever use it personally because i dont share much on the web, but I hope it becomes popular for those that do.
Looks simple and useful (I don't see me using it, but I know a few people who actually may). Start by sending it to all quote website admins ;)

Very nice! Possible revenue stream by letting folks track their bookmarks, etc.
That's pretty nifty! I can see it being used favorably by journos and bloggers.
Jeez, I'm using it already: https://twitter.com/#!/acron/status/78057196830732288
