Web 2.Awesome.

Every now and then you see someone do something with technology that makes you go..”duh, why didn’t I think of that?”. I happened upon one of these moments, when a friend of mine showed me Awesome Highlighter. The concept is simple, it’s like bookmarking with comments, but where the comments are easy to add, and relevant. People send me links all the time, they tell me to check out a specific page, or a story, but I don’t always get the joke, or the point they wanted to make to me. Now, with this tool, I can see what they thought was relevant. I can remember specific steps I had to follow when I bookmarked a page. As a developer, I can send this to clients, or copy editors, who can pinpoint the errors on the web pages more easily to me.
This is the natural evolution of delicious, let’s see if they can keep up.
For the framework fans out there, the site is built using PHP5 with Code Igniter.

I use diigo for that. It’s good because it’ll let you add notes to the highlights and such. It’s a pretty spiffy little tool and it has RSS feeds for you to pull the data from. There were a couple of other tools like it when I was looking, but this was the only one that worked flawlessly in Safari 3, so it gets my vote.

A great blog with some fantastic information. This is a real inspiration and has helped me loads. I myself have just got into writing blogs and would appreciate any advice in terms of content and blog layout etc. Any feedback would be good so don’t pull back on the punches as feedback is the breakfast of champs so they say.
