Hello,
This post is to address a serious matter I came across while looking at some web graphics sites. I heard about a plug-in called Third Voice (www.thirdvoice.com) which allows any internet user to post notes on any web page that can be seen by anyone who has this plug-in. Now what's wrong with this is that the owner of the web site has no control if this feature can be used! It alters the content of the site! Imagine the possibilities: on a site selling software some warez group could post a note detailing how to get the software for free.
Goto this address for a example: http://www.fortunecity.com/westwood/alaia/354/sample.jpg
and here for someones opinion and more info:
http://www.fortunecity.com/westwood/alaia/354/thirdvoice.html
I will admit it is an interesting idea but in my opinion a bad one. Unfortunatly I don't know how widespread this is yet, as the plug-in is currently only available for MSIE4 (but not 5), which I do not have. Can someone check this out, see how bad it really is?
Thanks for the input,
Zach
