		magic_haze on Feb 13, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why I'm Done With Social Media Buttons I agree, but what happens when you want to share just a part of the page, not the whole (for example, something on your tumblr dashboard)? I think IE, of all things, had a feature a few releases back for exactly this scenario: a page could define some markup around the content that was shareable, and users could add browser plugins that picked them up and published them wherever they wanted. Does anyone remember what it was called?

Not sure why it's a surprise that IE would add features that require proprietary markup.
