Give a web page a Fleck
Fleck was released on Friday at the TechCrunch party in NY. It's a pretty cool online service that lets users add notes to other web sites.

However, Trailfire requires a download, and Diigo doesn't look that great. If I would use anything to annotate on a website, I would definitely lean toward Fleck. Check out a Fleck sample I made for DLS.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
