Sticky Pages, Annotate, and Mark-up the web
Now with the Read/Write Web in full effect there are many ways to anchor, bookmark, comment, note, mark-up, review, annotate, clip, and share webpages.
NOTE: This post is attempting to focus on annotating and leaving notes on webpages, for the many web note services check out, Fifty Ways to Take Notes by Solution Watch.
But since web note service that have a sticky feel are so cute like webnote, Jotcloud and the peculiarly named Firedoodle, I have included many, especially the productive stikkit…and let’s not forget to mention fancy sidebar wiki notes.
And I’ve purposely left out memediggers (digg), social bookmarks (del.icio.us) and recommendations (StumbleUpon)…hmmm what about ShadoWeb.
Let’s start off with Silkscreen which does many things
- record your browser with playback
- share your browse history
- screenshare
- annotate and markup webpages
Web Sticky notes
SharedCopy (review)
- mark-up a webpage and invite others to see via your unique URL or simply make your URL public
MyStickies
- added feature of seeing all your notes on one page and organise your notes by tag
Protonotes (review)
- added feature of a review/modify collaborative process
Posticky (Review)
- like others you can add sticky notes to webpages and share them, and you can also have a sticky startpage with access via mobile, email and reminders.
Stikkit (review)
- unlike the others this isn’t for leaving notes on webpages, it’s more on collaboration and productivity, like: send a stikkit meeting invite and use it for documented notes afterwards
blogEverywhere
- blog about a webpage on the actual page, and read what others have also posted, and leave comments…even cc: the post to your regular blog
Fleck (review)
- leave sticky notes on webpages, you and others can action these notes like: email this, blog this, save this…you can also put a footer button on your blog posts, so people can annotate your post, a bit like the ReviewBasic button
JumpKnowledge
- annotate a webpage and like Fleck add a footer button and like blogEverywhere cc: the post to your regular blog
- the buttons are…annotate and; email, blog, save, and print
For similar stuff see linebuzz and webride, Zpeech and Grouptivity Discuss.
ShiftSpace (review)
- annotate the web

Social Network Sticky notes
Stickis (review)
- tag your stickis
- have your own blog like stickis stream,
- others can reply to stickis (sticky conversations)
- when you visit a webpage you can see summaries of stickies from your network via a tray (reminds of of BlogRovr, as any page you visit, you will get blog posts from your subscriptions that have reviewed that page..actually they are from the same family)
- also has a feature where you can subscribe to blogs, maybe this feature is like the BlogRovr service.
Socialight
- social network blogging, where your posts are sticky notes attached to a location
Desktop Sticky notes
3M Post-It Notes (review)
- the original
SnagIt Notes (review)
- sticky notes for screenshots
QuickNotes Plus
- send sticky notes to your friends desktop, similar to IM
RSS feeds and alerts via a desktop sticky, see mentations, and particls.
Chat
Chatsum - chat with others on the same page like Others Online, Weblin, itzle, gabbly, dai.sy, zpeech and yakalike, but you can also leave notes.
Also check out collaborative browsing with me.dium.
What about sharing your web browsing with Clutzr, slifeshare, and attenTV.
Web Clips
Google Notebook
- share and collaborate
Wizlite
- highlight, share and collaborate
footnote
- share and collaborate
Social Network Web Clips
Clipmarks
- social network
Web-Chops (review)
- social network
diigo (review)
- social network
Trailfire (review)
- annotate and share not only web pages, but web trails…now has groups trails, communal trails
Document Review
- see here (includes wikis)
Desktop widgets, Startpages, Webtops
- I can imagine lots of stickies and notes, if you know of some leave a comment…we may also include collaborative do-it all pages like zude and z-cubes (a page whore)
Link to a spot
purpleslurple (review)
- create a unique URL for a particular spot on a webpage
citebite
- added feature of highlighting the text
What about generating a hyperlink list by scrapping all the links on a page and listing it as a bibliography with inline numbers denoting which part of text the link in the bibliography refers to…also see here and here.
Not sure what Relates2 is about…also check out DrawHere.
Hmm, web annotation is totally old school.
[ADDED 3/07/07: Taskee - visitors can leave comments on a blog, refering to the URL they are commenting on]
