Abstract
URL or address associated with a user's home page is modified in such manner as to cause a web browser application to direct a request to a server that hosts a highlighting service, which service is invoked to display highlights on the version of the home page returned to the user. In one embodiment this is accomplished without requiring a user to download client-side application software. In another embodiment this is accomplished without requiring the user to register for the new service. In a third embodiment, the user has to neither download application software, nor register for the service.
