Just a quick little gem this morning:
I typically send out links to my friends multiple times a day. Whether they like it or not, the links are coming. Well just last week I thought to myself – “wouldn’t it be great if I could highlight certain passages in the webpages that I send out links for, if only to save my friends time and sanity?”
Luckily, someone over at LifeHacker and DownloadSquad must have been thinking on the same wavelength, because they both posted the next day about Awesome Highlighter. Awesome Highlighter allows you to highlight as many passages as you want on any webpage, and then send the link to someone else, preserving your highlights. It even creates a short URL for your link, making it easier to share with people. This is great little tool and I highly recommend it. If you don’t believe me, take a look at an example. Enjoy!
PS For those looking for a bit more features, such as adding comments and the like, check out Jump Knowledge, which is also a great tool but a little more complicated.
