I do think collaborative annotation brings some of the fun of other social media to the process of close reading, etc.
Boy, what I wouldn’t give to have a digital, searchable copy of every book or article I’d highlighted or annotated since I was 14! Even my handwritten commonplace books from those eras are difficult to read and search through.
Right? I think that’s one of the truly innovative affordances of digital annotation. Those trails are always productive to retread but often too hard to discover in the analog collection. IMO.
