Overview
WebNotes can be installed as a toolbar or, alternatively, as a bookmarklet. Hosted user accounts store all annotation information and may be accessed from any internet connected computer. When the organizer is displayed, the toolbar will present a collection of annotated contents which may be moved, deleted, or rearranged as desired. Annotations may also be shared via email, permalink or aggregated PDF/HTML document.
The service currently works with the following browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. WebNotes is compatible with Mac OS, Linux and Windows.
History
WebNotes was conceived by Ryan Damico as an undergrad at M.I.T. in 2005 and the company began working on a product in 2007.
An Invite-Only Beta was launched on December 10, 2008. While the service was lauded by many sites, a few questioned WebNotes' entrance into a highly competitive space.
After an incredible journey, WebNotes will be shutting down on November 1, 2015.
