You can send the article in its entirety: in the e-mail itself they will see whole article, with the portions you highlighted
You can e-mail a tiny URL (such as http://roohit.com/UnlockIPhone). Upon clicking it they will see the article you sent, with the portions you highlighted
I can’t see the button?
Go to the "View" menu and select "Toolbars." Check the "Bookmarks Toolbar" option.
Why is highlighted misspelt on your site?
We were going to name the company HILIGHTER.ORG (highlighter.org was already
taken), but then we ended up with RoohIT. A lot of graphics and text had already
been generated, so here we are...
Why do I have to install the button?
You DON’T. Type in roohit.com before any URL such as roohit.com/yahoo.com and invoke the highlighter. The button merely types in roohit.com making it easy for you.
If I install the button, isn’t that a download?
No, it will not run anything on your computer. It simply types roohit.com before the URL for you. It does not do anything else! Will not consume even 1 byte of memory, not even 1 micro-second of your CPU: ZERO cost to you and your computer!
Free, what’s the catch?
There is none. Just like Yahoo, Google, Youtube, Craigslist are all free, so is this GREAT SERVICE :)
I am a FireFox user…
We have not yet publicly released the Firefox compatible version. Be rest assured it is in the works. BTW are you a good coder? We are looking for some web-developers.
It messes up the layout on some pages…
We’re working on it ;) It’s either that or install some custom software on your computer! [We have developed the custom software, if you like you may install it]
Why does it not work with my e-mail, or other logged-in accounts such as Hotmail?
By design: it is is a web-tool intended to work only inside your Internet browser. If the site requires a username/password then the information there must be confidential. We therefore do not allow any public highlighting on such areas of the WWW.
Similarly if a site is using a secure (https) connection, we do not allow public highlights.
We DO HAVE SOLUTIONS that will work in all of the above scenarios. Please contact us to get these premium solutions for your web-site or for yourself.
Social Networkers & Bloggers: (Check-This-Out widget)
What’s in the widget?
The latest highlights you make are automatically displayed in your widget. It also displays the latest highlights made by anyone else.
Why do I want to use the widget?
Your friends can see what you find of interest on the web. They can read it and discuss it with you. All with NO EFFORT ON YOUR PART. Paste the snippet once and you’re DONE!
Where can I put the widget?
On ANY WEB-PAGE. On your page on any of MySpace, Facbook, Blogger, Hi5, Bebo, Xanga, Orkut, BlackPlanet, etc. etc. See some examples of what other users have done.
Site Button:
What’s the Site button for?
It allows visitors to your site the ability to make highlights. They don’t have to install anything either. No registration required of anyone. More details...
Umm.. so what’s the benefit to me?
When you add the button, it offers a valuable tool to your users. They can now highlight portions of the page that are of individual interest to them, and use the integrated e-mailer – WITH JUST ONE CLICK – they can forward your web page to their friends.
Typically when we get a forward from our friends, we often don’t read it because we don’t know what John really wanted me to read. Now, they can and WILL read it. This creates more interest and discussions amongst friends about what is actually of interest to that group. Thereby increasing your reach, as well as your retention of existing users.
Generic Web Button: especially compelling because it can be used anywhere and the user never leaves the page he is on.
And what’s this?
It allows you to make anything on the web be highlightable. This is VERY POWERFUL. Paste the following code snippet to any comment you make on any forum, or any blog and suddenly make the entire page instantly highlightable for anyone (remember no-download, no-registration, and free forever!)
