… tuned to a dead channel

Kissé a Hyperwords nevű Firefox kiegészítőre emlékeztet a Shiftspace projekt, ami újabb rétegeket próbál húzni a weboldalak fölé, amelyek így szabadon annotálhatók, változtathatók lesznek.

ShiftSpace is an open source layer above any website. It seeks to expand the creative possibilities currently provided through the web. ShiftSpace provides tools for artists, designers, architects, activists, developers, students, researchers, and hobbyists to create online contexts built in and on top of websites.

While the Internet’s design is widely understood to be open and distributed, control over how users interact online has given us largely centralized and closed systems. The web has followed the physical transformation of the city’s social center from the (public) town square to the (private) mall. ShiftSpace attempts to subvert this trend by providing a new public space on the web.
