I've started putting together a page highlighting some key differences in web annotation software architectures. Included are some existing, prototype, historical systems. It's only a draft now. I shall need to better organize the references. Feel free to make comments. I'd like to nail down some definitions for annotation system components: http://look.boston.ma.us/garf/webdev/annote/software.html In the meantime, ThirdVoice is getting hammered by a newsworthy amount of Internet smarty-pants (see nototv.hypermart.net; stories in Wired News, Christian Science Monitor). Unfortunately, no one is trying to get at the heart of the problem, which is the software's faulty architecture. I wish there were a viable movement among this group to ensure that properly-designed annotation systems get developed and reach the marketplace.
