We think that text with context (or quotations) are a necessary part of mashups going forward. Glamorous things like photos and video have had the "social treatment", but we're going to really freshen and rejuvenate the most primitive and important of all things - text. In the next few weeks, we hope to roll out some amazing features and partnerships. For now, check out this example of a quote which has Gutenberg text surrounding it - http://www.quotationsbook.com/quote/1391/ In future, when you add your own quotes (coming soon) our system will search the huge corpus of books from gutenberg, etc. and try to link a context in real-time! We're matching thousands of classic quotes as we speak, and want to add other sources. Let me know of any ideas you have, we'd love to hear them. Amit Hi James
