Many sites like reddit, and Slashdot have ever changing front pages.  
These are news/content sites whose front page is continually  
refreshed, and new and latest content added all the time.

Even the search result page for a Google search will show different  
results after their indexes are refreshed either because of a re-crawl  
or because of change in page ranks, etc...

If you want to share the front pages of these sites (and the  
associated links and their relative ranks as you saw them), you'll  
either have to copy and subsequently paste them into an email or a  
file, or just hope that the ranks don't change before the intended  
recipient sees the page.

StickyLinks solves this problem by providing you with a sticky which  
is basically a permanent link to that page's content so that no matter  
when it is opened, it will be seen just the way you intended it to be  
seen by the reader!!

This way, you can email links to these dynamic pages and post them on  
forums without the fear of their content changing.
