12. Facebook replacing Disqus… but who will replace Facebook? Who cares to preserve our intellectual contributions for the long term? The solution must be open and archival!
13. Hypothes.is: An open-source, distributed platform to enable sentence-level, community moderated annotation of news, blogs, legislation, scientific articles, books, video, etc. without the consent of the target.

What we’re proposing is often called social or collaborative annotation. There have been previous efforts to solve this problem.
How do we weigh in, when they turn off the ability to do so? The NY Times disables comments on a significant proportion of all news stories.
And why should we be commenting way down at the bottom of long articles, when our analyses are often most relevant to specific passages.
How do we sort through thousands of mostly trivial remarks?
Hypothes.is will use a simple interface. Highlight, annotate, submit.
A heatmap along the edge of articles will tell you where previous annotations are clustered, what their reputation weighted sentiment is and allow you to moderate them.
We’re bringing together some of the leading minds in language, reputation distributed systems and Internet technologies
