Bounce is a dead-simple way to share notes on websites
The folks at ZURB have just released Bounce, a nice little tool which lets you take notes on websites and then share the URL with friends or colleagues. Bounce is basically a dressed down version of Notable, ZURB's full featured website feedback tool for teams.
The user interface for Bounce is dead simple. Just input the the URL you want to take notes on and in a few seconds Bounce will deliver a screenshot of the URL. Here you can take as many notes as you wish, input your name (which Bounce uses to label the screenshot with your notes) and press save. A public URL is then served which you can email or post to Twitter and Facebook. As you scroll over the boxes you drew on the screenshot, your notes will appear.
Bounce is free to use, no registration required -- and with no software to download or steep learning curve, it makes for a great little tool for development teams to get contextual feedback on their web projects.

Tool seems pretty cool. However, you can easily browse other people's screen captures and comments just by editing the number the URL. Perhaps this is only during beta or something, but doesn't seem very secure!
E.g. http://www.bounceapp.com/111

That's why they have their paid app Notable...
Anyway, if you want full screenshot/notes power, combine Bounce with Gyazo Screenshooter and voilá! take notes on anything you see :)

Thanks for the kinds words and questions Tallinn! As Otafu points out Bounce is a free app giving people a quick ability to bounce an idea against other people. Our flagship product Notable (http://notableapp.com) is a more comprehensive app which gives you:
* Privacy (ability to make your feedback private)
* Ability to iterate through feedback with others
* Ability to give feedback on website code, seo, and copy
* Ability to archive, organize and segment your past feedback
There is a free account for Notable as well. Feel free to check it out. Would love to hear how you like it!

Thanks Dmitry for the response. I have tried Notable and think it is pretty good!
However, it is more advanced than I really need for now. Would love to use Bounce if it could just give out a more 'randomized' type URL that people couldn't guess. I think even with a free app people would not want someone else being able to see what they said. But I could be wrong :)
