The program to do this back then was called uTOK. I think it acted as a local HTTP (who needs the S ;-) ) proxy and would intercept requests and inject its HTML so you have a hovering DIV on the page with people's comments. I remember seeing people comment on CNN news articles.
Ah, imagine the toxicity if that's around nowadays.
Solid endorsement from the site: "Very creepy and uncomfortable but so cool and interesting!" Martina (User #18)
"It is what it is" ;)
Tried this for about 10 mins and then figured out that it was publishing my browser history on the VCU site. So pretty much done with that for now.
where did you find that?
Lovely concept. Just gotta wait until its released for Firefox.
Thank you so much! Yes I'm working on it ;)
I think about how cool something like this would be, pretty frequently. Hopefully, you have plans on porting the add-on to Safari.
Very cool
Thanks!
