Does nobody remember the late 90s? There was a service that did just that way back before the previous dotbomb. But the name escapes me, perhaps because it was as exciting back then as it is now.

Yeah, shadows.com tried the same thing, and they had plugins for IE/FF, are they still around?

Don't me.dium and yoono do the same thing?

BumpIn.com is also doing the same. But I think that the market size is very big. Being able to comment and interact with other people on any site is the missing feature of web 2.0.

In this case that multiple players can exist together. But sooner or later something like browser wars will start.

Diigo does a pretty nice job of highlighting. I don't publish my highlights but a lot of other people do.

Socialbrowse might address something I find a bit annoying about Diigo: I don't care what most people think about an article, especially if I don't know the commentators. The highlights of others just clutters my page most of the time. Diigo allows you to turn page Highlights off but ALL Highlights are removed including my own...

Any Socialbrowse users out there?
