You are reading a web page, say a news story on the CNN website, and would like to share it with your friend. The article is interesting but a bit long and therefore there’s a possibility that your ‘busy’ friend may skip the stuff that you really want him to read.
In the good old days of paper, you could have used an highlighter pen to mark the important lines but now that the text has gone digital, so have the highlighter pens. Let’s look at some of the best tools that let you add highlights and text annotations to web pages without installing any software.
One of the easiest tools for adding annotations to public web pages is the Awesome Highlighter.
As soon as you open a web page inside Awesome Highlighter, your mouse cursor will automatically turn itself into a highlighter pen – you just have to select a piece of text to highlight it. You can use different colors for highlighting and there’s also an option to add text notes to web pages -- see example.
Next in the category is BounceApp – this is actually a service for capturing screenshots of full web pages and there are built-in tools to annotate these screenshots.
You just have to draw a marquee around the text that you want to highlight and these are numbered automatically – this will help in case you would like the other person to read the different highlighted sections in any particular order.
