So, yet another bookmark-note-taking-whatnot-app.

1. Can you export your data? JSON preferred.

2. Is there an API?

3. How does it compare to http://okfnlabs.org/annotator/, which is free, open source and distributed?

1. Not yet, although it's a pretty commonly requested feature, so we'll likely include it soon.

2. Again, not yet. What features would you like to see in an API?

3. The main difference is the social value. I can easily make annotations and share them with you, see what my friends are bookmarking and highlighting. We're looking to build a community, rather than just an annotation tool.
