We have a HipChat room that we post changes to so that team mates can see what's going on. The code above implements a bookmarklet that prompts you for a message to send to the room from your browser. The default value for this prompt is the currently highlighted text on the screen, which makes copying issue descriptions or urls fairly easy.
