Highlight any webpage instantly!

Rohit Chandra, who is a serial entrepreneur and a good friend of mine, is now on to his next mega-idea. This time it is a big web 2.0 splash with an interesting twist ... highlight any web page instantly, as if you have a highlighter. So when you send web links to people now you can have them focus on what you want them to read, rather than read a whole web page. In this busy world no one has time to read the whole webpage. What you want is a quick way to tell something that was so much possible in the classical world of pen and paper.

I like his website name:

http://www.roohit.com

This is a derivative of his own name. I know Rohit, ever since I met him in Informix, where I was a web architect for the world's first media project in Java in early 1995 when the web was fresh from the oven. At that time, I was building an SOA startup for network management. And in Rohit, I saw the fire that the entrepreneurs have. He was restless and would never give up thinking how he would change the world. A few years later he launched this startup called ECode which shook the world. It was his original patented idea and a real good one. Since then, I have been very impressed with his zeal and motivation to change the fabric of the web.

So what are you waiting for? Just go ahead and aim your browser at http://www.roohit.com and you will get addicted to this new way of highlighting web pages.

There's something about Rohit, I see him in the right places at the right time. He's got an amazing sense of communication and really stays on top of the fundamental aspects of what users need for the internet of tomorrow.
