If Microsoft wants to really contribute something useful in the spirte of SmartTags why not go with the Annotea project? It is a developing annotation standard by the W3C. Some tweak of this idea should be able to provide the same functionality in a way that site creators can opt in on and others participate in without having to bow to the wills of the evil empire.
Then again maybe I’m just too much a leftist commie for a world like that.
Gillmore has theory, Smart Tags a Surveillance Tool?

“Smart Tags”, Round Two, the slashdot discussion. Favorite comment
Tivo would get the hell sued out of them for this
The real question that so far no one has answered, what is the real Microsoft agenda with SmartTags? Somewhere in it all is a misdirect which is missing the real reason for the “feature” and allowing it to be leaked at this time. Kinda like all the recent “OpenSource is evil/cancerous/un-american” speak is really allowing Microsoft to set the agenda in the debate.

Howstuffworks had “How Gas Prices Work”, all for arcterex. Check out the gas prices adjusted for inflation, $2.59 in 1980 compared to the $1.66 in 2001.

A screenshot, and the url, of a ZDNet article, still being edited, about SmartTags. Not sure if it is a joke or reality. Either way it makes a pretty good point.

Economic Left/Right: -5.92
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.75
I guess we all basically think alike 🙂
