Automated annotation of a resource on a computer network using a network address of the resource

A client device for automatically linking annotations to resources implemented on a computer network, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
• display an indication of a resource having an associated network address unique to the resource,
• receive, by a first instance of an annotation interface implemented on the client device, an indication of a new annotation or a modified annotation associated with the displayed resource and the associated network address unique to the resource, wherein the new annotation or modified annotation originates from use of a second instance of the annotation interface implemented on another client device on which the resource is also displayed, and wherein the new annotation or modified annotation is stored with a reference to the network address in a remote annotation database associated with both the first and the second instances of the annotation interface;
• and
• display the new annotation or modified annotation along with the resource.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a first client device to perform operations, comprising:

• displaying, by the first client device, an indication of a resource having an associated network address unique to the resource;
• receiving, by a first instance of an annotation interface implemented on the first client device, an indication of a new annotation or a modified annotation associated with the displayed resource and the associated network address unique to the resource, wherein the new annotation or modified annotation originates from use of a second instance of the annotation interface implemented on a second client device on which the resource is also displayed, and wherein the new annotation or modified annotation is stored with a reference to the network address in a remote annotation database associated with both the first and the second instances of the annotation interface;
• and
• displaying, by the first client device, the new annotation or modified annotation along with the resource.
