Football Leaks: Annotations and the Biggest Leak in Sports
Journalists around the world use annotation to help investigate the “the largest leak in the history of sport”: over 18 million documents that reveal the shadowy financial practices of some of Europe’s leading professional soccer stars.
Introducing Search and Profiles
Up until now, Hypothesis users have been able to annotate, reply to, and read through annotations. These basic capabilities have generated an explosion of activity: as of yesterday, our community has created a total of 882,053 annotations!
With this release we’re introducing two key features to help you navigate this new layer of information spreading across the web: Search now makes it easy to filter all annotations by keyword, tag, group, or linked page. Profiles finally provide a true home for users and groups—both for themselves, and for others that want to explore their annotations.
Marketing Hypothesis
I’m incredibly excited—and deeply honored—to be joining the team at Hypothesis, where I’ll be leading marketing:
My first—very short—story for Hypothesis is about how the idea of a common platform for digital annotation first captured my imagination, embodied in the idea of a personal notebook. My notebook links to all the places online where I engage, but lives with me. Instead of being scattered across the world, my collected notes and references would be in just one place where I could always find them, flip through my pages, add new thinking, and—most powerfully of all—share and connect with other people. I started with this simple story, but Hypothesis and the people it connects are already telling many stories, with so many more to come.
