BookmarkQ: share pages with sections highlighted

I've often wanted to share some specific bit from a web page without duplicating the content and yet making it easy for a recipient to perceive which bit I wanted to indicate -- BookmarkQ offers one approach via a bookmarklet (no account required).

Here's a sample:

A rough usage summary:

Navigate to a page with some content to share (non-frame stuff might work better)
Click on the BookmarkQ bookmarklet (dragged to the Bookmark toolbar as part of set up)
Wait a bit for the content to redisplay
Highlight some text
Click on the BookmarkQ bookmarklet again -- page should redisplay with selected text highlighted in yellow
Mouse over the selected area -- should cause a popup to appear with URL to share
Copy URL and share as desired

The description may make it sound like it's more complex than it actually is Wink

Note that this approach may be letting a 3rd party know that a page is being shared and specifically what on that page is of interest.

Thanks to mouser for pointing me at the freewaregenius article:

Highlight specific content on a web page to share with others, with InFocus

The article covers a different service, but that appeared to require Flash (which wasn't in the environment I was using when I took a look), but a commenter mentioned BookmarkQ -- so thanks to that commenter too smiley
