But Web annotation is back with the launch today of Google’s Sidewiki . To be honest, I don’t have high hopes for Sidewiki.Blerp Aims To Turn The Web Into One Big Forum
San Francisco startup RocketOn , the company behind a virtual world platform that bares the same name, has more tricks up its sleeve and is today showing off the second product it created. The web application it’s introducing today is dubbed Blerp , and its ambition is to turn the Web into a giant interactive message board by making it possible for visitors to add text comments and multimedia to existing web pages and share them with their friends.

The idea of leaving sticky notes on the Web for others to find has been tried many times, but has never really taken off. Third Voice dotbombed with the idea in the late 1990s, then Activeweave tried it with Stickis (only to abandon the idea in favor for an app called BlogRovr, which was recently acquired by BuzzLogic ).
We got word last night that Diigo will be releasing version 3.0 of its social bookmarking and webpage annotation service today.

Diigo is a research tool that rocks
I just looked at the new research megatool Diigo and though several bloggers have covered it in the past and in previous incarnations (including our charming leader ) I think they really missed the boat when many called it an unexciting entry into the crowded social bookmarking space.Diigo , known for its social annotation, finally went public yesterday.
