Test the new Fleck Firefox Add-on!
We have been working on a new version of the Fleck Add-on for a while now. Before we could launch it we had to make some changes to the server side technology so that is why it took a while.
The new version not only works better then the old version. It is also the start of a new direction and function of Fleck. Right from the early days we wanted Fleck to become a new layer on the web which you could access always and everywhere. For that dream to become reality we needed more than just the technology to add notes to websites. We also need a way to signal people that there are actual Flecks on the page they are visiting.
The new Firefox Add-on does just that. It adds a small Fleck logo to your browser that displays the number of Flecks on any page you visit. We hope it will be a small and unobtrusive way to get you attention if there is something there which might be interesting for you.
As you can see in the illustration there are 3 different annotated versions of my Blog.
When you click the little icon a sidebar will open up showing you links and a preview to these annotated pages. At this moment we only show Flecked pages from registered Fleck member and only on that particular URL.
In the future we will add more information here such as Annotated pages from your friends and the number of Flecks on other pages in this domain.
We haven’t officially released the Add-on yet but I would like to ask a few of you to download it and give us some feedback. We are very interested how it works for you before we launch it to everyone.

And Safari support?
Thijs: no Safari support just yet. But thanks for the reminder! I’ll look into it tomorrow…
Current plug seems to fail on FF2, and to only save Flecks on FF3 to the fleck.com site itself. Are there plans to update?
