On Medium, highlighting a text goes beyond a perfunctory act of selecting content; it makes the learning process as straightforward as possible, adding elements of social communication to it.

Medium doesn’t immediately show the number of highlighters. But one thing is sure: the more people highlight something, the higher that number is likely to get.

people love to know what others with similar tastes will find important to memorize, or at least what’s worthy of future reference.

writing things down makes you remember things better. The positive effects of taking notes are even more promising if you write (or type) them down in your own words.

highlighting and noting your insights will turn your research game around.
