Bookmarklet (with URL shortening) for ping.fm
Feature Request(/idea): First off great service. Thanks!
URL shortening service bit.ly has a Bookmarklet that allows you to highlight some text on a site, click the bookmarklet and it bring to their site, URL shortened and textbox filled with highlighted text from the site you originated from ready to be posted to Twitter. It would be great if a solution like this could be created for ping.fm in which you are brought to you ping.fm dashboard, URL shortened using ping.fm methods, and text populated in text field ready for you to pick a service and ping it.

Inappropriate?There is a way to do something very close to this with certain firefox addons.
For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...
If you use that in conjunction with the "Ping this!" feature: http://ping.fm/ref/help/
You can highlight text, right click, "search with -> ping.fm", and it will take you to a page to post the selected text. The url shortening will take place after you click submit. We would like to make our own product to do this a little neater when we get some spare time.

Inappropriate?try this one: PingPlus - it's based off the one they already have but also captures selected text. The URL isn't shortened until it's pinged, but there is separate input fields for both the URL and the Title/Selected text
