Want to go wild on the big WWW, leave your mark for all to see, but don’t know how or want to start hacking web pages? Fleck allows you to interact with pages on the web just as if they were pages in a magazine. You can save your annotated page for yourself, send it to friends or colleagues, or use it in your blog. After using it for about 15 minutes, I think it is kinda cool but something tells me that there is another program that does this on the web as well, but I can’t remember what it is called (anyone?).

There’s a long list of features that Fleck aims to roll out in time, including photo integration, arrows, multi-language support and Pro accounts with premium features. If they can make this a more fleshed out service while retaining the incredible simplicity it offers now, Fleck could grow into a particularly solid contender in the web page annotation space. - Marshall Kirkpatrick

You can start using Fleck right now. It’s a free download for Firefox (IE is on its way). It really is as simple as that, there is nothing more to say other than go try it out.

Update: Other competing sites I know of are TrailFire and Diigo

Web 2.0 sites are all over the place these days, and can become rather profitable.  That’s why Fleck is auctioning off four Web 2.0 domains and business ideas.  The sites are Headr.com, Betafy.com, Clicksy.com and Drugle.com.  If you’re wondering why they’re doing this, your guess is a good as ours.  Maybe they’re hoping to raise a few more start-up dollars, or maybe they simply just don’t have time to implement the sites themselves.  Fleck’s Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten said it best.

The reason I’m not implementing these ideas is because I believe an idea is only as good as it’s implementation.

In other word: if you don’t give the idea 100% of your time and energy, it is worthless. And since I am devoted to Fleck and I don’t have time for these ideas and are willing to sell them.

So whatever reason it may be, get over there and buy yourself a business.
