Magazines like Highlights?

Is there a service (with browser extension) doing something like Kindle "social highlights" but for web pages?

  • Basic requirements: Ability to easily highlight portions of web pages. Optionally tag these highlights Aggregate these highlights. Preferably in a smart way so it can somehow recognize overlapping but not 100% equal highlights. (Example: someone highlights one sentence. Someone else highlights this sentence too, but includes the following sentence as well.) Perhaps a toggable overlay (i.e. a color-coded heatmap) of highlights from users of the service for the current page. Or alternatively: Is there a "Delicious" of social highlighting? Preferably, I'd like something that's used by developers to store snippets of technical documentation they want to save for reference (and do not mind sharing).

  • Answer:

    http://diigo.com has an interesting suite of social annotation tools.

What an awesome question! http://Markerly.com is a very fun bookmarklet that allows you to socially highlight, bookmark, and share articles to all your favorite social networks. All of your highlights are saved to books (like a Pinterest board) for easy future referencing, and for others to discover all the neat articles you share on a daily basis. Great way to easily bookmark, and a fun way to add a personal element to the articles you share online. All highlights can be auto-shared to FB or Twitter, and tagging is included with all of these (however, optional). If a sentence is already highlighted, you simply "remark" the sentence to your social networks or save the remark to your books.

I do this kind of things by Chrome Extensions named "Post to Tumblr", which makes us add scrolled sentences to tumblr by right click for a couple of seconds, though I'm also looking for kindle type highlights tool.
