Just a few thoughts:
-A lot of content on the web is already chunked into readable, bite-sized pieces since people don't like reading big paragraphs. Do we need to distill those down even further?
-How do you deal with differing opinions on what is and isn't important to highlight? If I highlight the first sentence and you shadow it, what does a third reader see?
-Maybe it is just me, but I personally hate all websites that hyperlink or markup words (even if they are trying to be useful). It makes the text obnoxious to read.
-How is this better than me just skimming the text myself?
-I could see an annotation feature being useful, perhaps allow comments on the annotations to create discussions?
- smlwry 15y ago1. A lot chunked, a lot - not. 2. It will be based on statistics. Same way as it works on Digg, etc. With a karma, with a minimal number of votes (vote=mark) to show mark to everybody. The last thing was implemented in Kindle readers (255 people marked this fragment). 3. - 4. So - you will be perfect marker in this service :) It's like in Wikipedia: low percent of editors is creating the content. 5. It's a good idea, but it's not so useful, as to provide people an abstract of an article. It can be the minor feature, as many others (like a social spellcheck, for example).
