Ever wanted to quote more than one person in a reply comment field on social networking side Multiply? This bookmarklet might help:

QuoteIt

What I do is highlight from the end of the response all the way back to the picture of the person on the left (that should select everything including their name), click the shortcut, and it adds the selected text and HTML code to your reply box at the bottom. You can do this as many times as you want – it’ll just keep adding to the reply box.

It’s not smart enough to know if you highlight 2 replies at once (do it one at a time – remember it all adds to the box before you hit “Submit”). Also if you only highlight a part of reply without highlighting who the reply was from, it’ll only quote the text you highlighted. Try it out.
