WebNotes is an online service that offers tools to annotate, organize and share your annotations with others. It is different from usual bookmarking sites, it allows you to post notes on any web page or highlight the text you want for later reference.
WebNotes works as a browser add-on or a simple bookmarklet. Using the webnotes is easy, install the toolbar or bookmarklet and when you want to annotate or add notes to a web page select the tools like sticky note ot Highlighter from the toolbar and start annotating. The highlighted text and the notes automatically synced to your webnotes account. The notes can be categorized using Folders, tags would have been a better choice instead of folders for organizing annotations.

You can also access all your folders and associated notes from Firefox sidebar using Organizer button on the toolbar. The added annotations can be easily searched using the search function both in browser sidebar or from webnotes account. The added annotations can be shared with others either by email or via URL. But others can’t edit these pages without registering to the service, a good option will be allowing others to edit these annotations via a simple password protection or something similar.
WebNotes is currently in beta and they have provided me 25 invites to share with our readers. Leave a comment if you want to get invited to the service, make sure you leave valid email address while commenting.

Programs or services such as this, that are becoming more and more interactive, appear to be leading up to a point where our minds will be able to communicate in an unimaginably direct fashion. As far as this service goes, being able to highlight parts that can be shown to others makes it easy to edit papers for someone who is not in the same location. Areas of error can be pointed out rather quickly.

Very interesting stuff. I don’t know how this compares to “wired markers” which I use with Firefox and I am very satisfied with. I would like to give Webnotes a try.
Thanks for all these great ideas and useful info that your Technology Bites bring to us.

I’d love an invitation as I am looking for an appartment and such tool would simplify tracking where I called, where it is already gone etc.
