playground permalink feature broken
The playground permalink button feature is both hard to use and doesn't always work.
I keep trying to click on the button to keep the pop up open so I can select the text. As soon as you move mouse to the text field, the pop up goes away. Apparently you need to hover over the button and hit ctrl-c. This is confusing. If you click on button, the pop up should stay up for the user to use.
The content that was copied via ctrl-c also was not the input+frame content that I wanted. It appeared to be content from the person example button I had clicked on previously vs the current visible content.
@bollwyvl any thoughts on how to improve and fix this feature?

Also, a URL shortener would be extremely useful, at least a link that invoked, say, the Google shortener automatically.
The first step is just getting it back to where it is easy to get the link text. Generating short links all the time would be a waste. Just let the user click on something if they need one. A quick hack would be to just generate a tinyurl create link with target="_blank" and let the user click on it: http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=PLAYGROUNDURL
Better?
