annotating websites without permission - thirdvoice

"Now web surfers can post their own comments or criticism anywhere on the Internet, without the permission of web site publishers", says the Forbes article on http://www.thirdvoice.com. And the author of this article, optimistically, goes on to say "There is little doubt that the introduction of this software, also called Third Voice, will change the way people use the web. " The software allows you to annotate any web page and all other users of the software have access to all the previous comments. Clever? Will it change the way you use the web? It might be fun during an election year to annotate some official candidate sites, imagine the possibilities . . .

this means that if someone has this software, they can go into your website and post whatever they want?

They can annotate it to your website, it doesn't get posted directly to your website. But others using this software visiting your website can see the comments of others who have visited it.

I cheated. I "seeded" our website with some comments and tried to set a postive tone, of course. I got the username terry, so good names are available still.

Ok, some of this stuff I am just finding out about now. Is this something I *need* on my computer? I have checked PlanetClick and did the review as requested for them. I always do as I am told...I like to please...let me know about this program and if I need it, too.
