Well, the recommend bookmarklet is based on those search bookmarklets.... it inputs the selected text into the description for your url instead of a search. My bookmarklet works better then most. Most of these either have trouble with different browsers or they can't handle frames. Mine works well for most webpages and common browsers.

Thing is I'm really interested in having something that works in any application. I just send you a link with a $14 shareware app that may do the trick. Check it out and tell me what you think...
