Hello everyone My colleague, Philip Rutherford and I have been developing our concept of annotations for web pages for the past several years (since 1996) but have never made contact with others about the concept. Suddenly, after Jon Garfunkel contacted us we have discovered that there are more new developments than we'd been aware of. We seem to have taken a different approach, particularly compared with 3rd voice. Our way of having annotations keeps the management of them firmly in the hands of the owner of the original page. Maybe what we're doing is not really annotations but contextual discussions. Certainly from reading the discussion on the FEEDMAG I find the 3rdvoice picture hard to digest, but there is a lot of useful mechanisms within it. The biggest difference between what we've developed and all the other applications I've seen (I accept that there are probably more that I haven't) is that the users and even the moderators need only their browser and email to participate. If you'd like to see more about our system and try out our demo then please visit our site at http://weborganic.com/ We've just released our first beta version and would love it to be tried out by people who can see what they are dealing with. By the way, Jon mentioned us as webdialog but we've had to change our name due to trademark issues so now we are weborganic pty ltd. Looking forward to some feedback from people who know!!
