BookmarkQ is a utility that allows users to create a short URL to a selected text on a Web page. This is helpful, when you wish people that you share a URL with would focus on a specific Web page area (see Use Cases for more information).
The concept is very similar to other URL shortener services, with the exception that BookmarkQ not only restores the location of the original page, but also reveals and highlights the originally selected text.
The original Web page contains a lot of information, and people get lost when trying to find the relevant part (citation, for example). BookmarkQ helps you focus by scrolling and selecting the needed information.
You write a blog (Web page, e-mail, tweet, etc.), and you wish to cite other article.
You want to share specific information from a Website, and you wish people look at the original page, rather than sending them a copy.
You want to point other developer to a piece of source code available publicly (see example).
BookmarkQ "remembers" the location of the selected text along with the original Web site URL. When URL created with BookmarkQ is opened in Web browser, the original site is presented through bquot.com proxy. Originally selected text is then found on the page and revealed.
The BookmarkQ will not be confused by this fact. The tool not only remembers the text itself, but also the position. This is handy when you select data that appears more than once on page (see example).
