A lot of time when I read articles there are mainly just few sentences I think are important/relevant/funny etc that I really want my friends to see. However I have to just tweet the whole article, and chances are people won't see what I intended. Are there any companies currently working on a solution to this?
Yah, but I stopped development it... ScreenRack. Save snippets by highlighting text, archiving full articles and capturing screenshots of the original articles, etc.<p>Mobile / web app. Think Instapaper + Historious.<p><a href="http://screenrack.com/" rel="nofollow">http://screenrack.com/</a><p>If there's interest, I'll push forward again.
check out snip.ly -- the do a good job of emphasizing text you select but still let people get to the whole article.<p><a href="http://www.snip.ly/alpha" rel="nofollow">http://www.snip.ly/alpha</a>
