Gibeo.net - brings back memories of College and Highlighters
A few years ago I met Jeremie Miller right after he first started working on Jabber.
Earlier today I discovered his latest project, gibeo.net and the immediate thing that came to mind was the set of highlighters that I once used when I was in college. After you try out Gibeo, you may know what I mean.
Jeremie's goal is for Gibeo to evolve into a potentially disruptive technology for the web and provide a next-generation net based annotation system. This system needs to be seen to be understood.
While it is still actively being developed, Jeremie has recently reached out to get some feedback on usability and functionality, as well as to help brainstorm new potential uses for the technology.
This system operates at the "layer above the content."
Giebo provides a mechanism to insert intelligence between the browser and the
web server. It basically allows you "break the glass window" that is any web site
and have the freedom to see it in new ways, enhanced and with context aware
tools and utilities. In fact, every static piece of the web can now become an open interactive resource or social gathering and discussion place.
Take a look at some of the example websites which Gibeo references and then visit your favoriate websites and give it a try.
