More Web 2.0 shenanigans: this time it’s a video aggregation and annotation tool, Mojiti. Looks interesting, and is built in Flash on the client side.

Annotate online video with Mojiti:

Video sharing web site Mojiti lets you add your own comments and notes to internet video.

Mojiti is a little strange in that if you want to add a video, you just paste a link to the video and Mojiti yanks it from the site of origin to their own - meaning that you can use Mojiti to annotate any YouTube video really quickly and easily. To get a better idea of what I’m talking about, check out the video after the jump.

If you go to the source page, you can see that this video was snagged from YouTube - a process that takes only a few seconds.

Mojiti really does make adding notes and spotlights to videos a cinch, so if you’ve been looking for something like this - maybe you want to share a YouTube video with your friends with a couple of notes of your own - Mojiti makes it simple. — Adam Pash

TUAW’s story:

First look: EndNote X:

Filed under: Software, Universal Binary

This is probably of interest to a very small segment of our readers, but for that segment, it’s exciting. Thomson ResearchSoft has finally released their flagship EndNote X bibliographic package for the Mac (PC users have had it for several months already), and I took it for a spin this weekend. The biggest changes are under the hood. EndNote X features a new compressed file format that allows libraries to be stored in less on-disk space. The compressed format also save libraries as single files, enabling easier sharing of libraries with your colleagues. Potentially more exciting, EndNote X features drag and drop management for embedded PDFs, so you can include articles right in your bibliographies. Combined with some stability and speed improvements, particularly combined with a shiny new universal binary, this makes for a very good upgrade.

Thomson has added in some eye candy and other fun stuff, too. Most noticeable is a new set of aquafied icons, but if you go to the tools menu, you’ll find that they’ve also added customizable menus to almost every window, as you can see in the full screenshot.

Retail is $239.95 or a $89.95 upgrade for current users. Many colleges and universities provide it free to students and faculty, so ask. A 30-day demo is available.

Read on for a full on screenshot.
