webdev discovered equill's visual teaming solutions (what a crap name) which is a neat little tool to layer remarks, post-it-like notes and markers over a web page.

moreover, it reminds me once again on crit.org as well as mprox which both provide possibilites to do similar things, however in quite a different context. crit.org looks very academic and scientific and probably is too darn complicated to be used quickly and widely.

mprox comes from the experimental arts corner (although the makers turn down "being at the right parties talking shit") and also does not impress with simplicity. moreover, one needs to configure the proxy settings of the browser to really use it. but as an experiment it has its charms, though.

i still think that services like these are in favor to dodgy techniques like smarttags.
