Reframe It
- "There are books in which the footnotes or comments scrawled by some reader's hand in the margin are more interesting than the text. The world is one books." - George Santayana
Reframe It is a free web browser plug-in that applies Santayana's maxim above to websites. By creating a public space in the margins of any web page, communities of web users can comment on online material of any kind. By integrating in to your Firefox web browser (an Internet Explorer version is set to be released), the tool displays comments in the right-hand margin of web pages you view. The home website of Reframeit.com organizes and displays comments by Topics, Groups, and Rating. Reframe It is a valuable tool for web readers of all strains, from educators and bloggers to the politically active.
Why Reframe It?
Excerpted from website:
- In a free, internet-enabled society it is imperative that good information efficiently reach those who are misled or being denied the full story from all the angles. Ambiguous, vapid and blatantly untrue commentary corrodes the public discussion of important issues. Reframe It's philosophy is simple; allow the public to comment directly on the web and enable users to socially reinforce good information with further information and to uncover what is inaccurate, misleading and deceptive. Through communities of users Reframe It enables individuals to democratically select what is relevant, what is interesting and what is not.
