3/10 Someone here used to work for some company that let you install some
broswer plugin that then let you read/write comments about the website
you were on to other users who had this plugin. Anyone know if that
or something like it still exists?
\_ I seem to recall http://thirdvoice.com, but they don't seem to be
among us any longer. -John
\_ a friend of mine founded eQuill, which let you do just that. But
he was never on soda. Perhaps I mentioned it once. But I dont
think that software is around anymore--at least, I know he sold
his company to M$... so perhaps you could expect some such
similar plugin to be builtin to the next version of IE. dunno.
Anyway, if you'd really like to get in touch with him for some
reason, lemme know. - rory
\_ http://Thirdvoice.com is indeed one of the companies. Died the death of
no business plan after burning millions of VC funding. M$ tried to
use a similar technology after thirdvoice folded, but it eventually
went nowhere either. There was also an open-source project that
would do something similar, but you had to view the web pages
through their proxy (no need for a browser plugin). -ERic
\_ we only burned like $5m or so.
\_ That was thirdvoice. 3v has been dead for several years, the
servers are long gone, "she's dead jim!". There was a proxy-ish
redirector service that annoted pages but all your traffic went
through their server. It was more like a student project than a
real service. I can't recall the name. --ex-thirdvoice
\_ did 3v ever have any revenues at all?
\_ not that I'm aware of, no.
\_ did you work with knchia?
\_ if it's the guy I'm thinking of, yes, he was really cool.
\_ what is thirdvoice again? Is it like slash dot?
\_ annotate other people's websites. later on it became a paid
keyword search service. |
