New TwitterLit and KidderLit bookmarklets! Bite-sized literature just got easier.

I'm thrilled to announce that TwitterLit and KidderLit now have bookmarklets! And as partial as I am to Twitter, bookmarklets may be the handiest way yet to get first lines delivered, right in your browser window.

A bookmarklet is a browser bookmark that's written with javascript. When you click on the link, it performs whatever function it was scripted to perform. In this case, The TwitterLit and KidderLit bookmarklets each open up a popup window that shows the two most recent entries.

To install a bookmarklet, just click the link below and drag it up to your browser's bookmark toolbar:

TwitterLit

KidderLit

That's it! Then, whenever you'd like a quick literary diversion, click the bookmarklet and see what first lines are waiting for you.

Here's a preview of what the KidderLit popup window looks like:
