Honestly, is there anything more annoying than constant cutting and pasting from the internet to a Word document? No, I don’t think there is. The people at i-Lighter thankfully agree.
Now, instead of having to risk arthritic pinkies and pointer fingers from hitting “Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V” every five minutes while researching online, you can use i-Lighers highlighting service. First, you’ll need to install the i-Lighter toolbar (works for Firefox and Windows Explorer). i-Lighter then creates its own heading on your browser; use the drop-down menu to navigate the application. To highlight and save something, click on the i-Lighter and your mouse will convert into a veritable yellow internet highlighter. Click and drag across the text and images you want to save, and they will automatically be stored in your i-Lighter account. Additionally, i-Lighter also has other cool options like sending your i-Lights over email and del.icio.us tagging capabilities.
