On Web Annotation
I am not a fan of the “stickies” model of web annotation. While it works to some degree in a collaborative environment it does not offer the full breadth of annotation tools required to actually mark up any given document.
I like to use Scrapbook for Firefox because I can highlight, insert sticky notes, remove content and it keeps a copy of that marked-up page on my machine. It falls short on the sharing however.
There’s market space for full annotation capabilities with server syncing. Maybe in a future version of Scrapbook.
