This is a very nice extension, I've been thinking about building the same thing for years and never got around to it so well done, and thanks for doing a very good job of it!

I'm thinking about using it for getting feedback on web applications I'm developing, it looks like Point would be the perfect tool for the job.

My only worry is that I have absolutely no idea where or how my data is held. Does the information I add to Point become public?

Other question, how do I turn off Point for a given site/page? As nice a tool as it is, I don't want it on constantly (e.g. comment box, highlights etc.).

Sorry if I'm missing something, I couldn't find any information on your website.

edit: wording, additional question

Thanks! Glad you're liking it :)

As far as data and privacy, every article you share, and the comments you make are private to you and only the people you mention in the 'point'. So there's no sense of a public feed or public commentary.

Edit: that 'popular' tab you see in the dropdown is a bit fictitious for now, so nothing that you point will ever show up in there.

2nd Edit: Once you've pointed an article/site and have the comment box up, you can strip /#show-last-point from the URL to clear. We'll be adding a better way to hide or delete this soon.
