@Christos – Thanks for the comments! I may go back and redo that demo video, but rest assured that all new features, when released, will have a short video focusing on just that part of the tool. Short, and to the point.

I can’t save because I’m not logged in, I can’t login because I’m not registered, I can’t register because it says I’m allready registered!!! What’s up??

I agree with Mike’s initial comment — I can’t wait to try this out at work (I’m an IA at a medium-sized company in Cambridge, Massachusetts). It beats all the usual methods (Powerpoint, Acrobat, etc.) for marking up websites, and it means I don’t have to print them out, mark it up, and scan it back in.

Haven’t tried it yet, but this may also work great with Pearl Crescent Page Saver (http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/). I’ll post back here with my results, later.

Your Demo video, while informative, didn’t really satisfy me; it’s too long, and it took too long before you started actually drawing with it. Have you considered making a five- to ten-second version, that just shows how you log in, and what you can do?

Real time sharing would be very cool.

awesome stuff… was thinking about doing this after seeing this…

EDIT ANY WEBPAGE

GO to any web page, clear the address bar, and paste this: “javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0″ (without the quotes) and hit enter. Feel free to edit whatever you want on the page!

cheers… keep up the good work!

Really interesting tool…as we have come to expect! I will be thinking of artistic implications! But the practical ones speak for themselves! Very inspiring.

Is there a way to edit a currently saved highlight? It would be nice to bring up old notes and add on to or amend them. I’ve been playing around but no luck.

Sorry, just saw the bug reports link. I’ll post the above comment over there.

This looks like a cool tool, but it doesn’t appear to work for me. I am running Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. When I click the New button to start highlighting the webpage becomes blank. All text and graphics disappear. Any ideas?
