Toolbar document content sharing

Abstract

A system may provide a toolbar in a browser at a client, where the toolbar permits user selection from multiple different services for sharing document content. The system may receive a selection of a first one of the multiple different services from a user via the toolbar and may receive a selection of content of a first document browsed by the user. The system may post the selected content in a second document associated with the first one of the multiple different services.

1 . A computer, comprising:
 a memory comprising instructions to implement:
 a graphical user interface; and 
 a graphical area that lists multiple different services that are selectable by a user for sharing selected content of a document, where the selected document content is less than an entirety of the document; and 
   a processor to:
 receive selection of a particular service of the multiple difference services, where selection of the particular service from the second graphical area causes a separate document associated with the particular service to be automatically populated with the selected document content. 
   
     
     
         2 . The computer of  claim 1 , where the second graphical area comprises a window that overlays the graphical user interface, where information identifying the multiple different services is displayed in the window. 
     
     
         3 . The computer of  claim 1 , where the multiple different services include services include at least one of an email service, a blog service, a short message service (SMS), or an instant message (IM) service. 
     
     
         4 . The computer of  claim 3 , where the processor is further to:
 receive selection of the email service, where selection of the email service causes a body of an email to be automatically populated with the selected document content.   
     
     
         5 . The computer of  claim 3 , where the processor is further to:
 receive selection of the blog service, where selection of the blog service causes a blog post to be automatically populated with the selected document content.   
     
     
         6 . The computer of  claim 3 , where the processor is further to:
 receive selection of the SMS or the instant message service, where selection of the SMS from the graphical area causes a SMS message associated with the SMS to be populated with the selected document content, and where selection of the instant message service from the graphical area causes an instant message associated with the instant message service to be automatically populated with the selected document content.   
     
     
         6 . The computer of  claim 3 , where the memory further comprises instructions to implement:
 an area of the graphical user interface from which the user selects content that is shared via one of the email service, the blog service, the SMS, or the instant message service.   
     
     
         7 . The computer of  claim 1 , where the selected content includes a plurality of selected portions of the document, where the plurality of selected portions comprise less than an entirety of the document. 
     
     
         8 . A computer-readable memory device comprising:
 a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 retrieve a web document using a web browser; 
 present the web document in a first browser window associated with the web browser; 
 receive selection of content from the web document, where the selected content is less than an entirety of the web document; 
 provide, via the web browser, a menu listing that lists one or more services for sending content to an intended destination; 
 receive a selection of one of the one or more services from the menu listing; 
 cause a separate document, associated with the selected one of the one or more services, to be automatically created; and 
 post the selected content from the web document in separate document. 
   
     
     
         9 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 8 , where the one or more services include at least one of an email service, a blog service, a short message service (SMS), or an instant message (IM) service. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 9 , where the selected one of the multiple different services includes an email service; and
 where, when causing the separate document to be automatically created, the processor is to cause a body of an email to be populated with the selected content.   
     
     
         11 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 9 , where the selected one of the multiple different services includes a blog service; and
 where, when causing the separate document to be automatically created, the processor is to cause a blog post to be populated with the selected content.   
     
     
         12 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 8 , where, when providing the menu listing, the processor is to:
 provide a window that overlays the web document and that lists the one or more services.   
     
     
         13 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 8 , where the selected content includes a plurality of selected portions of the document, where the plurality of selected portions comprise less than an entirety of the document. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-readable memory device of  claim 8 , where, when causing the separate document to be automatically created, the processor is to:
 cause a second browser window to automatically be opened, and   cause the separate document to be opened within the second window.   
     
     
         15 . A computer device comprising:
 a memory to store instructions; and   a processor, to execute the instructions, to:
 receive a selection of content from within a document that is presented within a browser, where the selected content is less than an entirety of the document; 
 provide a menu that lists multiple different services for sharing content, where the menu is provided within a pop-up window presented on top of the document; 
 receive a selection of one of the multiple different services from the menu; and 
 cause a separate document, associated with the selected one of the multiple different services, to be automatically created by posting the selected content in the separate document. 
   
     
     
         16 . The computer device of  claim 15 , where the processor is further to:
 provide the selected content to another user via the selected one of the multiple different services.   
     
     
         17 . The computer device of  claim 15 , where the selected one of the multiple different services includes an email service; and
 where, when causing the separate document to automatically be created, the processor is to cause a body of an email to be populated with the selected content.   
     
     
         18 . The computer device of  claim 15 , where the selected one of the multiple different services includes a blog service; and
