Mainly related to web annotation: does anyone here use Hypothes.is? (its goal to do web annotation correctly, versus Genius' desire to do the same (eventually, right?))

climatefeedback.org is a good implementation of Hypothes.is They get scientists to check climate-related articles. Check them out and support them if you can. Good people doing good work.

Hypothes.is is great for small groups of scientists, academics and they are doing good work . For more general news annotation, I use Fiskkit.com

Similar idea but different audiences. The vision of Hypothesis is more like the Wikipedia of web annotations.
