Let's check the list: Ah yes, we've got services for saving/bookmarking/sharing photos, articles, websites, videos, songs, tweets, presentations, plus other media forms teens and tweens probably use that I hope I never know about.


What's missing? Well, actually, nothing--there's too much, but that's a different tangent. What's "missing" are simple, straightforward words. Just some words, man.


I can't tell you how many times I've copied a paragraph from something (anything, everything) just so I can paste it into an email, text message, chat window, blog post--you name it. All the while, I'm doing the shuffle between the browser, the application(s), the devices. No wonder kids don't read anymore.


That's why Pullquotes is lovely: You simply highlight any excerpt of text you want, and a small menu will pop up with options of copying the text, tweeting it, or providing a special link to it (<--that one is my favorite).


Pullquote is currently in invite-only beta mode, but the invitations come fast if you want 'em (so it seems). After all, it's all about gettin' to the point; it's all about completing the list; it's all about the words, man.
