I originally had this post in the hopper to be published on May 13, 2004. But, I never finished it and so it has
been lingering in the Weblogs, Inc. system for three months now!
As I lifted this post forward for publication today I noticed that Peter Caputa, while blog-sitting for me, made
reference to Gibeo in his July 13, 2004
post. David Carpe, in the comments field on Peter's post, left a link to his Web Annotation, Semantic Web link page. And
here is Clay Shirky's list of
Social link management
candidates, also posted on July 13, 2004 and accompanied by a huge bucket of comments.
For the record, my original skimpy post:
Last night I stumbled upon
Gibeo.net and signed up to check out the service. Then I checked
Feedster to see if anyone
else has been blogging about it. I found about 15 posts, among them one by Jeff
Pulver—Gibeo.net - brings back memories of College
and Highlighters.
I found sparse information on Jeremie Miller's Gibeo.net. Jeff Pulver quotes that this systems operates at the "layer
above the content."
1. ... I got pretty annoyed with the user interface because it doesn't meet my need for ease-of-use e.g. people's annotations aren't immediately displayed -- instead, you need to click on each highlight to reveal what each comment is. I wish all the annotations were displayed without any need to click on anything.
