What it does

The Awesome Highlighter is a tool for highlighting text on a webpage that you’re sending to a friend. The upshot is that your pal will appreciate your links a lot more if they have some clue as to why you’re sending it to them. What better way to do that than use a big, fat, yellow virtual highlighter to underscore the most interesting bits? Your friends will thank you for it and it’s super easy to use. To start, simply enter in the url of the webpage you want to send. Then, select the text to be highlighted, save it and copy the URL into an email, forum or blog.

In their own words

Why it might be a killer

This is a really straightforward, no frills tool. It’s simple to use and makes your links easier to read, more relevant.
