Cite Marker: Quick Marking and Retrieval of Textual Materials Online

"Cite Marker" is a Chrome extension that modernises bookmarking web content. Instead of bookmarking whole pages, Cite Marker allows users to highlight specific portions of text on a web page, convert them into ‘marks’, and save them for later use. Offering accurate search through these marks, this tool not only aids in easy referencing and citation but also provides the ability to share these marked snippets on platforms like Twitter.

*Like but not Love it* This allows you to bookmark a page from the right-click menu to bookmark using the selected text as the name of the bookmark, also you can tweet the page by the selected text. Not a bad idea, but I believe I can still do this manually with cut and paste, and that would allow me to place the bookmark in another folder.

Great concept, but sucky implementation. I wanted to give it a 5 stars. But it doesn't highlight the text when you come back, so you don't have a clue what you original cited, if I understand its operation correctly. I need a tool like this, but, in this current incarnation, it's not what I expected by reading the promotions about it. I can't wait until they update and improve it. Also, it puts the links somewhere hidden, so kindof hard to find them. Has potential but let the developer work awhile on it until you rely on this app.

I haven't really published allot of reviews but this ext. really rocks. It works well, it is simple, easy to use and does not seem to hog resources up. Also you do not need to sign up for a long string of things. If you are a student, doing research or need to archive allot of information or quotes, this is for you
