Leave your trail behind. Let other see what you said...

Trailfire is a combination of a social bookmarking service (such as del.icio.us) and a social web page annotation tool (see our coverage of the yet-to-launch Stickis). Basically, your comments and annotations are published on both your personal Trailfire page as well as on the website itself, for viewing by you and others with the Trailfire extension.

To use Trailfire, download and install the extension. This will add two buttons and a menu bar item. Use the buttons to open and close the Trailfire sidebar, and to mark a page. When a page is marked, a popup appears where you enter a trail name, a title and a description. When you mark other pages using the same “trail name”, they are grouped together. marks can be set to public or private, and users can choose to view just their own, or everyone’s, annotations on a website. Their product roadmap calls for the addition of social networking features like adding friends and having the ability to set group-based viewing permissions.
