"Do you ever need to send links to friends or colleagues that highlight only a specific section of a webpage? If so, read on, as this neat little Web app could be what you're looking for.\r\n\r\nInFocus works via a bookmarklet which you can drag and drop into your browser, or a Chrome extension. Alternatively, you can simply copy &amp;amp;amp; paste the URL of the webpage into the little box, and click 'Get Focus':\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUsing handles you can then drag a highlight box to and focus on a specific part of a webpage - be it a chunk of text, an image or whatever. You then click 'Test It' or 'Copy URL' and you have a dedicated URL which will let you send (or even bookmark for yourself) the highlighted segment to others. Click on the image below to see an example:\r\n\r\nHow did InFocus come about? &amp;quot;One of our developers put together this neat Web app over his break,&amp;quot; says Nick Grantham, founder of Fractus Media in Dublin.\r\n\r\nAs soon as you move your mouse on the 'focused' page, the highlighting disappears. If you want it to re-highlight the sender's segment, you simply hit 'Show Focus'. If you want to exit the screen altogether and visit the original webpage in all its glory, hit 'Exit Focus'.\r\n\r\nThere are a number of other webpage highlighting tools out there, such as Marker.to, a similar idea to InFocus which we wrote about last year. At the time, Marker.to was only available as a Chrome extension, but it is now available for Firefox and Safari too, though Internet Explorer is a glaring omission. Blog or website owners can also add a widget to their homepage, which lets visitors highlighting directly from the site.\r\n\r\nInFocus, however, is a handy little tool which, because of its bookmarklet and copy/paste URL feature, can easily be used across most modern browsers.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 InFocus"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
