Ask HN: Review of Snipper

Snipper is an easy way to share code with developers through Twitter. Provided as a plugin for Eclipse(initially); developers can select a file or snippet of text in an editor and share it on Twitter. Check out the about page for more information.

I created Snipper for two reasons:

1:) Wanted a way to share code snippets with myself and others. Many times I find myself looking through tons of code to find a function or line of code that's need in another project. Also when looking for code online, I am constantly running across developer sites that are basically link farms for ads. I won't name any names but "WTF"; I'm busy and wasting my time looking through pages with no content is very annoying.

2:) I have been reading articles on Tim Berners-Lee concept of linked-data. The concept is interesting and the way I have envisioned this working is what I call "Services without Servers". As a developer I should be able to create new Services without having any servers either shared, hosted, or in the cloud. Using only APIs and the user's machine, I should be able to create a service.
