I’m not really sure what to make or think of hyperwords – but the idea seems to be inspired by Doug Engelbarts thoughts on interactive text. It seems that hyperwords is an extension to the browser, making all words clickable in some way. A cool feature is that you can underline or ‘speedmark’ any piece of text on the page you are curently reading. Some of the features already exist (dictionary look ups through right click etc) but in my point of view, a collaborative extension of hyperwords could be commenting weppages on the fly and letting others (of your choice) see your comments.
Oh, and there is a hyperwords blog (although it looks like a semi-live stream of consciousness from Frode Hegland, the guy behind the project, it seems).
