MT: Bookmarklets & Selected Text

Speaking of MT bookmarklets, I just discovered that they automatically grab selected text. Learn something new every day. This could form the basis of a convenient pull quote/annotation authoring system. If only editing in a browser didn't really suck.

As an example, I've grabbed some text on Cambridge housing prices from Amanda Paulson at the Christian Science Monitor

In the cramped Grolier Poetry Bookshop, where shelves of Latin American poets spill into Brits and Scandinavians, owner Louisa Solano mourns the old Cambridge, ... "Now Cambridge lacks color."

Hah! The Boston Metro area always did lack color, if you know what I mean.

Memo to audience: I went to college in Cambridge. Better dead than Crimson.

Memo to self: need to find a nice styled quote tag
