As Ka-Ping Yee explains in further detail elsewhere, the people at CritSuite developed software for annotating the web with public third-party comments about two years before Third Voice re-invented the idea under their name of "inline notes".
Furthermore, CritSuite works straight away with existing browsers. You don't have to download software, or register, or install plug-ins, or blah blah blah - you just add the prefix "http://crit.org/" to the URL of the web page you want to view and/or annotate. Try it now! For example here's Third Voice viewed via CritSuite.
While Third Voice can of course be welcomed as a fresh new member of the "web annotation community", they should take care to acknowledge the work of those who came before them!
