I just put up a new web site called “Rock the Quote” aimed at solving this problem. It’s a searchable collection of speeches and remarks from Presidents and other famous people in American politics, with an extra feature that lets you share quotes without losing their original context. Each speech lets you select text, highlight it, and share links with people that go directly to the quote surrounded by the original speech text. I’m hoping that people will use this to reduce confusion and disagreement about what somebody meant when discussing politics online.

The URL is http://rockthequote.com.

@secretcristina SFW or no? Dick’s Sporting Goods != www.dicks.com BTW (very nsfw).

Friday afternoon I got these notices via email:

Dick Turner (Dicks_Sporting) is now following your updates on Twitter.

Jim Modell (Modells_Coupons) is now following your updates on Twitter.

Twitter is really going mainstream.

P.S. – For those who don’t know, Modells is a regional sporting goods store in the mid-atlantic and northeast.
