Link to a Specific Part of a Web Page with Cite Bite

Citebite is web service that lets you link directly to any specific paragraph or line of text on a web page. Such a tool can come really handy while sharing web pages that are extremely long as you can easily get people to focus their attention on any particular portion of that page without having to use Ctrl+F.

You can use the Citebite tool in three different ways – there’s an extension for Firefox, there’s a bookmarklet if you are using a different browser like Chrome or IE and then you can also create deep links to pages from the Citebite website itself.

Internally, Citebite creates an exact copy of a web page, that you are linking to, on its own servers so even if the original source is down or has changed, your old citations will still work. Also, these annotated pages won’t be visible in search results as search engines are completely blocked from crawling or indexing them.

When Google Calendar changed the Favicon , many people wondered why it only shows 31 . "Does it mean that starting today, every day will be the 31st ? Seriously, favicon should be changed everyday to match the date," suggested a Google Calendar user. Google listened to the feedback and the favicon will now change Every Day. "When you look at the Google Calendar icon at the top of your browser window, it will no longer always display 31 but will instead change to reflect the current day of the month.
