WebKlipper is a highlighting tool for webpages. You can highlight sections of webpages on the internet. Your highlights gets saved with WebKlipper and you get a permanent URL to the same webpage. Once someone visits that URL, he/she gets to see you highlighted sections on the page.

You can modify your highlights any point in time. Once you do so, vistors of your URL will start seeing your latest version of the modified webpage. What's cools is that you can add comments on the page too. You can position the comment wherever you wish on the page. These get saved too; which means vistors to your URL will get to see your comments on the page. Like highlights, you can modify the positioning and contents of your comments anytime.

Other than highlighting and commenting (two core features of the WebKlipper), you can also extract content from any webpage using WebKlipper. This means that you can literally pull out anything from any webpage using WebKlipper. Once you do so, WebKlipper will generate a unique URL for the extracted content. You can share this URL with your friends. Once they visit the URL, they just get to see what you have extracted (minus all the clutter in the original webpage).

WebKlipper-Blue-Bar is a power packed tool that appears at the bottom of any page that you try to klip. It has options to highlight, comment and share a klip that you just created. If this tool does not appear on a page that you are trying to klip, that is most likely a bug in the tool. Please report it here.

WebKlipper apologises if you have ever had this problem once.
It is a known issue and is likely to happen if you are using Firefox version lesser than 3 or IE7. While we are trying our best to fix the issue, there is a hack if you might want to use - Alter you selection slightly and change the end points of the selection (maybe just move the selection a few more characters ahead or backwards). Duh! WebKlipper doesn't want to convert you into a hacker. We'll fix this asap. Promise.
