I’m a fan of just about everything Noah Kagan and AppSumo do. You know how some people are just cool to be around (literally and digitally)? He’s kind of that guy; just good energy, makes you remember the time before the weight of the world crushed your spirit.
He and his team came up with this great product free product called Twilighter. It’s super easy to install and it allows readers the chance to highlight with their cursor anything in a blog post and tweet it out.

Let’s tweet. Let’s Facebook. Together.
Added bonus, my favorite band, just for fun, the Spanish is the cherry on top:
