SharedCopy - The Next Post-it?

What happens when you cross a Post-it note with Delicious or Furl? Perhaps a smarter form of bookmarking?

I got a ping from James Seng last night. I always love knowing what he is working on. SharedCopy seems to be his new thing. I’m impressed. It provides a new form of sharing with notations. A few of the commenter’s on his post thought “ThirdVoice” too. I’ll add a public shared copy to this post after I post it. I’ll need to experiment with this to really get it.

What is SharedCopy? It is an web application that allows you to annotate & markup any website, made a permanent copy of that page and then share it with your friends. Above all, we do it without any external program or browser plugins, just pure AJAX. Check out this link to see how it works. SharedCopy of SharedCopy

What I like about this is how you can just put a note on a page and send the two together. It’s quick and I can see this will create a neat repository. It is somewhere between Furling a page and being a little more active. I’d like to see it with a tags option and tied to an OpenID.I may have to learn a little more on how I can customize it. Example How can I add in contact me or SkypeMe details? I’m sure I could pass that in the same way.

Where a little user work is required is just a simple visual on how to drag the links to your bookmarks to set it up and get started. It’s not yet a very intuitive or obvious instruction. It ’s really nice to see something a little different! I can see ways to use it. I’d love to be in on more user stories as they evolve.
