Kind of an interesting application of the Zotero add-on for Firefox : the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University (no relation 😉 ) and the Internet Archive are working to create a storage for scholarly annotation of online documents.
The annotation would work through added functionality (in the form of a new button) on the Zotero workspace, and could create an entirely new means to access scholarly critique and commentary. Simply put, this will make one of the most interesting and promising add-ons even better by allowing the user to collaborate with other researchers.
Research 2.0 anyone?

Additional: note that this will also create an option to save an archival copy of an electronic document on the Internet Archive servers. This centralized storage will also provide benefits beyond the initial commons concept.
