_why had designed a similar metaweb a few years ago, where people could add and share comments to random pages, provided someone had created a URL(or a suitable regex)+xpath entry in the database, with the xpath pointing to the place where the comment box had to be inserted.
The barrier of entry was rather high, though. You had to tweak your DNS to point to his own server so that http://hoodwink.d http://hoodwink.d would resolve to a server, then install a Mousehole script (Mh is a custom filtering proxy) or later a Greasemonkey script to make the comments and most of the hoodwink.d site appear.
The hoodwinkd sever refused to serve anything when not accessed throuh the proper URL, and the instructions to get there were intentionaly obscure (just a pair of semi-obfuscated IP adresses for he DNS servers and a few vaguely evocative lines about the concept).
I think you can still find the code at github.
Fun times.
