Easily find changes in text and code with Quick Diff
If you're a developer looking for changes in code then there's a tonne of applications available for comparing two bits of code, but what if you're writing a paragraph and want to easily see the differences between two copies? It's complete overkill to create two text documents and feed them into your file comparison app of choice.
That's where Quick Diff comes in: a super-simple webapp that lets you enter two pieces of text (or code) and quickly compare them side-by-side. Sure it's not the prettiest web-app you've ever seen - but for a quick-and-dirty text comparison, I've not seen anything quicker.

In WinMerge which I use extensively you just create two new docs and copy/paste them in the two areas and it auto highlights the differences. Is pretty quick too.

In emacs you can just dump your text into two different buffers and use ediff. Bam...simple.
