Seattle-based Trailfire has just launched. It’s a combination of a social bookmarking service (such as del.icio.us) and a social web page annotation tool (like ButterFly). Your comments and annotations are published on both your personal Trailfire page as well as on the website itself, for viewing by you and others with the Trailfire extension. So basically you create a trail of comments thatothers can follow.
To use Trailfire, download and install the extension (available for Firefox and IE). This will add two buttons and a menu bar item. Use the buttons to open and close the Trailfire sidebar, and to mark a page. When a page is marked, a popup appears where you enter a trail name, title and description. When you mark other pages using the same “trail nameâ€, they are grouped together. marks can be set to public or private, and users can choose to view just their own, or everyone’s, annotations on a website. Their product roadmap calls for the addition of social networking features like adding friends and having the ability to set group-based viewing permissions. Others do not have to have the extension installed to follow your trail. Via TechCrunch
