Make It Stand Out

As you might have guessed I tend to go through a lot of websites each day. Most of what I find I just post here, but every now and again I find something totally random to share with just one or two people. On occasion that random item is about halfway down a page and part of the second paragraph. It turns into a bit of a pain in the ass in trying to direct people to the sentence I thought they might appreciate, a treasure hunt of sorts to fnd an amusing line.

Well, now there is The Awesome Highlighter. You enter the web address of the page you want to highlight, go crazy with the highlighter and they provide you a link that you can share with people. Here’s an example. Once some one goes to the highlighted page they can jump from one highlight to the next.

I have noticed a few “issues” with the application though. For one, I can’t seem to un-highlight items. a second is that there is a limit of 2000* characters per highlight, though you can work around that. Also some of what I highlighted didn’t show (though I would say about 98% did). Looks like they need a little tweaking, but this could be a great tool, especially for groups working together on a project.

*Thanks for clarifying Luke we corrected it
