- tedmiston 11y agoSure, two reasons: 1. I believe the web needs an annotation layer, somewhat analogous to the vision of Wikipedia but available globally across all sites. 2. I highlight and annotate aggressively when I read, which is why I care so much about annotation tools. Today I think there are a couple good tools for annotating the web. For drafts or private highlights and annotations I use Instapaper (premium subscription needed). Their is simple and barebones, but functional... it reminds me of Pinboard. However, Genius annotations are public and richer with embedded media, commenting, voting, etc. Another early candidate to watch in annotating the research vertical specifically is Hypothesis (https://hypothes.is https://hypothes.is).
