Oh, also, I'm SUPER wary of actually running that bookmarklet because of the fact it is injecting javascript directly into whatever page I am viewing. This compromises all security if you ever put malicious code in your app. Not only is there the issue of you being able to know what sites I visit and bookmark, but you have the power to get my passwords and credit card numbers if you wanted to and if I clicked on your bookmarklet on a page that I enter such information.
So I don't know how many users are going to be willing to trust your app. I don't think I will unless myself or another third party goes through your code to be sure you aren't trying to get data from input fields. It would be different if you were a big, well known company providing this app. If google, yahoo, MS, or even much smaller companies were offering this, then it could be trusted because no well established company is going to publish malicious code without reaping huge consequences. my 2 cents.
