Stickis - the social web annotator
Got an invite to test out Stickis - the social web annotator.
Stickis lets you add blog feeds, build a community based on your "notes" and read other's annotations.
What ?
- You add/subscribe blog feed(s) + you can showcase your own blog/site
- Add annotations/notes to whatever urls you like.
- Let others "subscribe" to your annotations/network/site and build a big community of readers! Your annotations could be on any site/url.
- In future, Stickis promises to restrict the notes subscription to whoever you wish to grant access to - Right now, whoever has subscribed to your network can read your notes.
- You can also get alerts whenever someone posts a note
Why ?
- As I understand it now, If you have a site, people get to read your site. You can read other's sites as well through the feeds.
- You get to hear opinions through annotations which might provide interesting insights of what people actually reading and commenting on - this could be an equivalent to the comments that you see on various sites - but, your subscribers will get to read all your comments at one place.. Ah... digg + comments ?
- You can either add new notes through the website or through the extension that they provide only for Internet Explorer. That meant I had to reboot to Windows :(
- However, they plan to add a Firefox extension soon.
Overall experience was completely different and it took sometime for me to understand what exactly I had to do :).
Update (Dec 4)
Jean from Stickis has left a comment that they now have a Firefox extension. Will try it out! Thanks !
Try it out and see if you like it - for now, I am gonna skip this one - atleast I get a Firefox extension
