It won't come as any surprise to say that I increasingly spend a lot of time reading online. From reading articles online, to managing LMs and reading Word and pdf files, I sometimes wished that I could circle or underline what I found most interesting. If you ever have that need, there are two ways to do it when reading online.
Highlighter is free and can be added to your blog. Nicky Hockly has a great blog post on how to use Highlghter. After reading, open an account and follow her challenge.
MarkUp is another option to highlight when you are reading. MarkUp is also free and the bookmarklet can be added to your toolbar by drag and drop. Whenever you want to make a note, you just need to click on the booklet. You can use an arrow, a circle, box or line as well as choose your preferred colour. There is also a deleting option if you change your mind. With MarkUp you can then publish the page you marked up and share the URL without the other person having to go back to the original page.
Of interest too is crocodoc, which allows you to make notes, highlight and embed where you need to. It's particularly useful for draft work.

Do you use either of these online highlighters? Do you have any other to suggest?
