This is awesome! However, I'm using IE right now (I'm at work, there's no way I would use IE on purpose) and the button doesn't drag to the bookmark bar. Is the button necessary? Maybe after highlighting, the share dialog just pops up. Maybe it can be enabled/disabled for when users need to highlight for other reasons.

Great job tho. I like the idea and I'll be using it when I get home.

I'm afraid to ask what version of IE you use, since I succeed to drag the bookmarklet in IE9 :) I've found the following workaround for IE users:

1. Right-click on the link

2. Select "Add to Favorites"

3. Click "Yes" on security warning

4. Select "Favorites Bar" from the "create in" dropdown

5. Click "Add" button

I'm using IE8 on XP and I'm afraid the work-around doesn't work for me. Thanks for the reply, I'll let you know how it goes on my home system (latest chrome, linux)
