Interesting tool that I will have to track down. I like the idea of being able to very precisely direct readers to an area that I have referenced. -Ralph
In case you haven't seen this potential tool, Spike Hall mentioned PurpleSlurple as a way to get better URL's in your writing, so that readers need not hunt around long pages to find a specific reference.
Another Weblogging (and Knowledge-Making) Tool: Purpleslurple
I add PurpleSlurple to the weblogging tools I find indispensable. If we are to be hyperlinked let the links be granular. A link to a granular address takes you to a very close approximation of the exact words, the exact picture in the refered to document. A link to the document as-a-whole, even if as short as a 5 paragraph weblog entry, causes too great a break in the reader's train of thought.
