As someone who uses <a href="http://www.boffosocko.com">my own WordPress site</a> as a research notebook/tool and commonplace book (as well as for owning all of my own data and social posts), I'm <a href="http://boffosocko.com/2016/06/17/hypothes-is-and-the-indieweb/">already loving</a> this plugin and can see some tremendous potential for improvements on both it and on the hypothes.is platform in the future.

While I've played around with other platforms like Genius.com as well, Hypothes.is seems to have a more focused approach to how I prefer to use annotations, highlights, and marginalia on the web. It also has a growing API and related suite of tools which portend more flexibility and growth for the future.

Still, one must be cognizant for how these sometimes "hidden" tools can be used for abuse and bullying on the web: <a href="http://boffosocko.com/2016/04/07/webmentions-for-improving-annotation-and-preventing-bullying-on-the-web/">Webmentions for improving annotation and preventing bullying on the web</a>[http://boffosocko.com/2016/04/07/webmentions-for-improving-annotation-and-preventing-bullying-on-the-web/]
