Hey,
Notice how the FB badges always update their status msg on your site and you never have to change the html code for it, how does that work. I want to implement something similar but with a social reader. Basically I want images and URL's of recent articles I read else where online uploaded to my site.

I can get the images by using the chrome extension Fireshot that takes a screen capture of the website I am on and it gives me the option of uploading via FTP. Unfortunately I do not know how to change the anchor text for that image such that it links to the site where the screenshot was captured from (without everyday having to manually edit the anchor text in HTML)

So is it possible to do on the fly updates (like FB does). I just add in some JS and images along with their respective url get logged back to my site?
