Many thanks to Kathy Blair for sharing this with me via the for:jgates513 tag in Delicious.
Since citebite no longer works with Firefox 3 I was happy to learn of this tool. Create an account and add the firefox extension. Then, when you find some text on a page that you’d like to point to, simply click the [AH] icon in the toolbar, highlight the text on the page (up to 2000 characters) and you get a specific url to email to your friends or to post as a link. You can add comments to it, as well. When your friend views that page there is a frame at the top with a button the take the person directly to the highlighted section (Jump to Highlights). They can read your notes, as well. There is even an RSS feed for your page of highlighted sites. Here’s a quick example: http://awurl.com/zchztu102472
This feels much like Diigo to me, but at a much simpler level. I’ve not figured out how to add a note without losing my highlight, but I’m sure it’s MY rush to get back to work that is the issue.
Anyway, it’s a nice way to point someone right to a spot on a page. Oh, and don’t forget eyejot, the site that lets you record a little movie that shows up in the top frame. Like this example: http://www.eyejot.com/et?jgates513-135667
