Is there a way to create a link directly to a specific annotation? I was looking for a quick way to share a quote/annotation with someone. I'm not interested in using or signing in with Twitter.

Great idea, i just pushed a modification to have urls pointing to specific quotes. Now you can copy the url when the comment panel is opened and share that url with anybody.

Nice work! I look forward to the royalty check in the mail. :)

Original poster here. You want to link to a quote by pg, not an annotation you've written, right?

Yep. I don't really have anything to add to the quotes but I'd like to share them and point back to the source easily.

I think your site needs to make the original source more apparent/clickable as well.
