From NeedToKnow mailing list by Dave Green on 17th Feb:
Even the most dedicated sports-hater can’t help but notice
that it’s an Olympic year, which - on recent evidence - means
it’s also time for one of those evenings where we grab a few
Brits who spoke at O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology conference,
then get them to (briefly) describe what they talked about -
and any other decent stuff they saw. This year, ETech runs
from March 6-9, and we’re just in the process of confirming a
lineup for a central London location on the evening of
Thursday 2006-03-23, so don’t say we never give you advance
notice or anything. Admittedly, most of the UK speakers we
recognise are from the London area, but we may be able to lure
the creators of social personal web archiving tool HANZO:WEB
over from Bristol as well - who describe their creation as
both “in public beta” and “the best bits of del.icio.us and
archive.org, rolled into a big sticky Katamari Damacy ball”.

- like this, with (slightly) different people, and not in 2004

- Armitage! Bryant! Willison! Yoz! (mostly TBC at this stage)

So now we have:
The one I like best though is the Firefox extension called scrapbook. This captures a page and then lets you annotate it in a number of different ways. It’s dead brill and has a lot of potential pedagogical uses. Just imagine an assignment to capture a page from site x and then write comments inline, save and post to your Moodle wiki perhaps?
