Web 2.0 Wish

I completely agree with Victoria about the pop ups thing, that is really annoying! But other than that, I would have one specific preference for Web 2.0. I'm not sure if this already exists, but it would be nice to have an application that allows you to highlight, make side notes, and type all over a webpage, without changing its original format. I know there is a Wiki function, but I'm not sure if all of this would be included. This is really helpful for online research because online research requires digging up information and extracting it from resources, and this is not as easy as it seems. Also, something I would like to be featured is a paraphrasing tool. In my world, this tool would take any highlighted paragraph and with the click of a "paraphrase button", it would provide another paragraph with the exact meaning of the content, but in a simpler format. This would make online researching a BREEZE, although more cases of plagerism will most likely arise.
