CommentPress encourages digital margin notes
September 25th, 2007 by Lynne O'Brien
CommentPress is an open source software tool that allows readers to make notations in the margins of a digital text. The developers of CommentPress, at the Institute for the Future of the Book, designed the tool to make reading a more social process and to encourage close textual analysis. Individuals can view other readers’ comments next to individual paragraphs, or sorted by section or by commenter. CommentPress works with WordPress, a popular blogging tool.
