ShurlThis!

Posted in Web, Technology at 2:32 pm by Danny Dawson

I got tired of the gigantic prompt that my last version of this bookmarklet made, and I figured that I might as well go ahead and fix the browser compatibility issues and give it a catchy yet descriptive name…

Here’s version 0.2 of ShurlThis!

There are two ways to use this bookmarklet:

1. Highlight a word or two on your current page and click the bookmarklet. You’ll be taken to the advanced Shurl result page with a link generated using the highlighted words.
2. Without highlighting anything, click the bookmarklet. You’ll be prompted to enter a word or phrase which will be used to generate the link.

Still don’t understand? Just test it out by clicking this link: ShurlThis!

I should certainly mention that this script was based almost entirely on Jesse Ruderman’s Google Search bookmarklet, so he deserves all the praise. Thanks, Jesse.
