Annotate.net in Beta

From today's BusinessWire: Annotate.net has announced beta testing for its new software/browser companion. Drop by the site ( http://www.annotate.net/ ) and check out the companion. (It currently only works for IE 5.0, though; see http://www.annotate.net/cs/whatis/faq.html for other system requirements.) Future versions will be available for other browsers, the FAQ says. Here's how it works. You download the software. When you open your browser the Annotate software opens up too. When you load a page the Annotate software checks to see if there are any "annotations" about it. If there are annotations, you have the option of viewing them in a separate window. Not just anyone can annotate a page -- they must be a member of the Annotate.net network, which, if I'm reading this correctly, currently includes CNET, BusinessWeek, and productopia. You can subscribe and unsubscribe to different annotators.
