What is a MicroBookmark?
Just like a bookmark takes you to a web-page, a MicroBookmark takes you directly to a part of the page, and it is already highlighted! (Power users can think of it as reader defined anchor tags)
Why MicroShare?
Because it saves time, and quickly & easily draws attention to the most important part of your web page while still maintaining the context and credibitlity intact.
What do you mean MicroSave?
When someone highlights a part of a page, it is automatically saved for the user.
Why use this?
It’s all done automatically, users don’t have to copy-and-paste parts of the page to their email, and/or a link to the page in order to call attention to just a portion of the page.
What platforms are supported other than WordPress?
You can add a highlighter to any webpage: on your blog, on your website, in your forums postings, in your classifieds listings, on your Profile Page, in comments you make anywhere on the Internet… Learn more.
