Create a short link to any text on the Internet

Select text on a web page, hit the TL;DR-ify bookmarklet and the service will return an URL that points to the page in question, and highlights the text you selected.

As an aside, TL;DR-ify is the latest incarnation of a hypertext feature first seen in the ‘60s.
