Awesome Highlighter!
Have you ever wanted to share an article with someone but give emphasis on a certain sentence or paragraph? AwesomeHighligher is a newly launched service that lets you do just that. 
Along with just entering the URL you want to highlight you also have the option of installing the awesome highlighter firefox extension. If you register for an account all of your highlighted pages are stored in your account for future reference.
I made a very short demo of the system.
After talking to the sites founders I got some insight into where the idea for the website came from.
We were working in a shipping yard and there was an accident. A box of
bricks fell, nearly crushing us…but a highlighter swooped in to save us.
From that day forward, we swore to promote the idea of highlighting and
sharing text to the world.
Pretty crazy.
It’s a really simple idea that’s been executed really well. It’s definitely a service I will be using often.

It’s a cool little website, but I would only use it once in a blue moon. I can’t see it becoming constantly used by people, just for the lack of need for it! However, in some lines of work it could be used extensively.

I haven’t had the time to really look at Awesome Highlighter, but the idea seems pretty solid.
Maybe, instead of producing a link for a highlighted page, each page + highlighted content could be added to a long list on a person’s profile. Like a highlighting/bookmarking service.
An Awesome Highlighter meets del.icio.us mix sounds… well, delicious to me.
