Another Annotation pretender
E-Quill
Write, circle, underline, or just draw on any page. Highlight text, jot comments on "sticky notes," then click to send to friends, coworkers, or anyone else--they don't need E-Quill to view the pages you send.
This covers a lot of what I had in mind for my annotation server. And it's actually pretty good - providing you using a Win32 / IE5.5 set up.
What's to download? - It drops a little toolbar in the corner (via ActiveX I presume).
So what do I have to add to this? Well for one, I want it on my own server, so I can annotate stuff inside the firewall. Some cross browser compatability would be nice.
And it looks like fun. I want my own.
