"Strong keys, Strong coffee" There, you're welcome. :)

"STRONG KEYS, STRONG COFFEE"

I recently prototyped a Youtube annotation interface. It's based around the Hypothesis annotation service. Let's you annotate youtube transcripts (approx 95% coverage from what I c…

You need to choose a YT video that has a auto-generated transcript. About 80%+ videos do I think. Choose another one. Docdrop+Hypothesis only works on transcripts-- it's not a time…

You can do this now using Hypothesis at docdrop.org-- just pick a youtube video and add URL.

This statement that "If you want to build a commons, first you have to have something to share" doesn't relate in any way to a need to own this concept. Trademarking "Internet of A…

I disagree. Dealing with large volumes of annotations is a UX challenge, but a very solvable one. Certainly current implementations don't handle pages w/ 10s of thousands or millio…

To state the obvious-- Hypothesis is eager, and is running one. If we can be so bold, we think we are also trustworthy. We knew that this could not work unless we also created a se…

The key difference is that proxy servers don't copy content. They reflect it. You can put any URL on the internet behind a proxy server-- that does not mean that the proxy server h…

Thank you for saying so. The climate change effort using Hypothesis is located at http://climatefeedback.org/ Also, it may not be readily apparent, but Hypothesis is a non-profit, …

> That interactive SVG slide-show is pretty impressive in itself. That is @shepazu's work.

Hypothesis supports private "only me" annotations, as well as the ability to create ad-hoc private groups. Only about 24% of annotations made through our service are public.

We agree that this is an issue that deserves attention. We've discussed it here. https://hypothes.is/blog/involving-page-owners-in-annotation...

Part of the goal of making it a standard, and one in particular where annotation clients could listen to multiple annotation service providers, is precisely to avoid "Annotation Ce…

Our implementation at Hypothesis uses a robust anchoring approach we call Fuzzy Anchoring. https://hypothes.is/blog/fuzzy-anchoring/

Certainly if browsers integrate annotation natively, it would increase the discoverability of conversation considerably which is of course the point. I personally think if that is …

In terms of controlling for trolls/spam, etc annotation service providers will need to use the same combination of automatic filtering and editorial or community moderation that ar…

Thanks @jmathai. I'm the founder of Hypothes.is, and here to say that we're delighted for researchers us to use us in this way. So far, our primary emphasis has been on collaborati…

That's the thinking behind this coalition for the scholarly community.

They're "permanent" in that they're not controlled by the site owners. But without effective moderation, a public channel of annotations will become unusable, so spam and trolls mu…

We've had discussions with them, they'll take a little longer to engage, but I'm encouraged that they probably will-- I think annotation is inevitable for scholarship, regardless o…

By the way, feel free to annotate the above article with Hypothes.is: https://via.hypothes.is/http://hapgood.us/2015/07/21/beyond-...

Hey Sean, Dan Whaley from Hypothes.is here. We would absolutely love your edits and updates! Happy to collaborate on this. You can email me ... dwhaley@h...

Thanks for this comment Ben! +1000 Feel free to try an alternative, open annotation api, like ours: api.hypothes.is
