Haven't seen this done before, but pardon me if it has. (I also didn't know the clipboard was accessible in Firefox, but perhaps they're using Flash.) At least

Haven't seen this done before, but pardon me if it has. (I also didn't know the clipboard was accessible in Firefox, but perhaps they're using Flash.) At least on my browser/config, the clipboard now has the text I copied, and a link to the story. Even better -- the link is to a version of the story with the text highlighted in it (using more JS + an anchor). Pretty cool feature, although I could see some people being annoyed/surprised by it.
