Does not work (anymore)

I use this extension daily and more then any others. A++++

Decent. Only sends the URL you're on. Would be much more helpful if it would send the text you have have highlighted like other kinds of plugins do, eg. Pastefire. Also, the ability to set the Prowl "event" would be an awesome addition. Lastly, I'd like the ability to be prompted to enter (type or paste) my own message to be sent, eg. "don't forget to stop by the store on the way home". IDK, something like that.
