I added gmail.com to my bookmark toolbar, then removed the alt text and replaced the link with the java from the gmailthis so it takes up less room and uses the gmail icon. Im picky. Def. fresh though.
This is really cool. Some drawbacks that need some work, but it's a really cool idea that just needs to be smoothed out.I'm curious if others will agree, but I'd really like "Email This" links on Digg. "Blog this" is nice if you use a standard blogging tool, but I don't with my site. (Use Mambo.) And I really like to turn more people on to Digg by sending the links to the comments page to people who would enjoy the story. However, the copy link, open email, paste and send function gets old.

Very good digg. Thanks leadingzero! Also a good tip from jamisonfitz to get the Gmail icon.

Any Javascript wizzard want to tell me the syntax needed to edit this to open a new outlook message instead?

Guess this wasn't good enough when I dugg it. <a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/software/GmailThis_Bookmarklet">http://www.digg.com/software/GmailThis_Bookmarklet</a> :)Anywho -- This bookmarklet is pretty secure, watch other bookmarklets though, they can pull content from a remote server, and if that server is compromised, you can run javascript you didn't intend to.

"Guess this wasn't good enough when I dugg it.<a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/software/GmailThis_Bookmarklet">http://www.digg.com/software/GmailThis_Bookmarklet</a>:)"This is exactly why I HATE it when people are so quick to yell dupe...A perfect example of a 'dupe' being a good thing. Now 700 people saw this the 2nd time around when only 19 saw it first time.
