Kutano.com - Annotating The Web

Kutano is yet another tool for commenting and annotating websites and sharing your insight and perceptions with other members of the online community, and without the control or mandatory participation of the webmaster itself.

This Canadian debate and discovery solution is implemented by installing an add-on that is available both to Firefox and Internet Explorer users. When you use Kutano, you will be able to put your comments side-by-side on the page that you are talking about. These comments will be available to any other person that searches the web for the same subject – provided they are also Kutano users, of course.

The aim of such a solution is to give the Internet back to the people and democratize content on the web. As a service, Kutano means that comments can not be deleted or edited on blogs and that everybody will have a chance to be heard by fellow internauts.

Of course, this is a double edged-sword. People can say what they feel but also what they want. Ultimately, the impact such a solution can have is down to the responsible behavior of the users themselves. Understandably, most people stick to corporate blogs and official websites in order to get the latest scoops and developments, but if you have been looking for a different angle then this solution might merit at least a try.

“Kutano is a browser add-on that lets you make comments alongside any webpage – without the control of the website owner. Kutano takes the Internet back to its roots, creating a common place for everyone, big and small, to share information with each other.”

The ones who look for a democratized web-based experience will undoubtedly take a liking to it.

When will other web browsers be supported?
