I'm looking for a Facebook style link submitter. The idea is I hit create content then paste a weblink into Drupal. It parses the website, sets a title, posts text from the web page and posts a glyph. There has to be a module already to do this. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Embedded Media Field
I know that the Embedded Media Field does something like this for video, images, and audio files. Copy/paste a URL from YouTube, for example, and it does the rest for you. Depending on what types of links you want to accept, maybe it can help.
If someone else knows of a module that will do this for any page (as IgD describes) I'd love to hear about it, too.

I think that is not what the OP means. If i understand correctly, you want to submit site content by simply going to a url with GET variables. Right?
You could use the services module for this, combined with the REST module (http://drupal.org/project/rest_server). I'm not sure if there are simpler ways to get what you need... You could also search drupalmodules.com or try the #drupal-support IRC channel to find out what other people think.

I'm still looking for a module to do this. I'm wanting to "submit by URL". The user enters an URL and then the Drupal module would parse the content and create a story. For example, it would auto-populate the title and text fields. This is what Digg and Facebook do when you submit a story from a URL. Anyone seen anything like this?
