Factum Vicesimus Quartus

Last Friday Fleck got launched at a big Techcrunch party in New-york. Fleck is a all new web-application to annotate webpages. Or according to the Fleck website: Fleck wants to add a new layer of interactivity to the web.

Fleck is a free service which allows people to add a note to a website. At first you can only view your own notes but in a later version it might become possible to share notes with groups. Fleck comes as a plugin for Firefox. Opera supports Fleck without installing a plugin and the plugin for Internet Explorer will be available soon. There is also a Wordpress plugin that allows viewers to annotate your blog posts, which from now is also possible at my weblog:) (click on ‘annotate this page’ below this post for an example). Fleck is not a new idea. In the 90s there have been serveral projects trying to launch the same kind of service but they all died a quick dead. There are also services with the same functionality online now, like Trailfire. Personally I think Fleck is great and I think this will become big.
