Writing on the Margins of the Web

Today, the world can begin to explore a new web app that will undoubtedly hold appeal for book lovers on the web. The app is called Reframe It, and it lets you write in the margins of any web page, much as you’d write in the margins of a book. And, even better, it lets you share the comments with others, turning marginalia into something of a public conversation. (Watch the video below to see what I mean.)

Reframe It is being released today in beta. To give it a try, you can download the free Firefox or Internet Explorer Reframe It browser extension here. Give it a try and feel free to let us know what you think.

    Another feature to help making useful internet content more visible. Of course it can be used for annoying advertisement but ads are everywhere.

    This is an excellent way to comment on all web pages. It’s great because it doesn’t cover over any content on the page, and especially easy to use.
