I know you are in alpha with this, so have enough on your plates; but neat idea with the example sentences might be to have a way of selecting other words from the example sentences and adding them to your queue automatically. Now that I'm up and running with the examples (which are both useful and entertaining - thanks for adding me), from time to time I see something buried in a sentence and I think "ah! that's useful, I should add that!" So it would be great to be able to do this with just a click.

That would be perfect. I want it too, please:-) They do have that feature at Chinesepod and I use it daily. It is a perfect way to expand your vocabulary. I make own study lists from those words and import to Skritter. So nice.

You can do this already - but you need to use Google chrome. Just install ZhongWen extension, then mouse over any text on any webpage and hit 's' for Skritter!

As for keeping track of whole sentences which are interesting, we are stuck with copy and paste.

@neil, thanks for the tips! Really nice tool. This will save me a lot of time.

Aha, that's great Neil. I was using Chrome (well, Chromium) already; so I'll give it a go.
All the best,
Will

I think it's a good idea and will try to include it in the final version of the example sentences.
