Ask HN: startups working on this problem?

[xcjamie]

A lot of time when I read articles there are mainly just few sentences I think are important/relevant/funny etc that I really want my friends to see. However I have to just tweet the whole article, and chances are people won't see what I intended. Are there any companies currently working on a solution to this?

Yah, but I stopped development it... ScreenRack. Save snippets by highlighting text, archiving full articles and capturing screenshots of the original articles, etc.

Mobile / web app. Think Instapaper + Historious.

If there's interest, I'll push forward again.

check out snip.ly -- the do a good job of emphasizing text you select but still let people get to the whole article.
