You can now leave annotations in the margins of Quartz - Quartz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAtlnh34tbY?rel=0 Since our launch about 10 months ago, Quartz hasn’t had a way for you to leave comments on our articles. That’s because we didn’t want to bolt an average comments section onto the bottom of each article and call it a day. In our experience, that approach doesn’t often lead to valuable discussion. Plus,...

Evernote adds Reminders, extending task-management options | PCWorld
The company calls Reminders its "most requested feature of all time."
Evernote hasn't exactly reinvented the wheel when it comes to its implementation of Reminders. You simply add an optional Reminder to any note by tapping the alarm clock icon that now appears on screen when you're creating or viewing a note.
Reminders do not necessarily have to come with a time and date attached (otherwise they simply appear in the new Reminders area, which I'll discuss in more detail below), but you'll probably want to assign specific deadlines to most of your Reminders. Tap or click the calendar icon to give your Reminder a deadline or other specific timing. This will also give it a pop-up alert when the Reminder comes due.
August 1, 2013 - Oh, How Pinteresting!, Pin a little, save a little
You know that giddiness you get when something you’ve wanted forever is suddenly a little (or maybe a lot) cheaper? Well, we’re bringing that saving feeling to Pinterest!
In May, we made it easy for you to see the current price of pins from certain websites, but there wasn’t a simple way to tell if your coveted pin’s price dropped. Starting today, we’ll begin sending you an email when this happens. It’s rolling out slowly, so hold tight if you don’t see one right away.
Pinterest Rolls Out Price Alerts to Encourage More Sales
This new feature is rolling out slowly, so you should start seeing discount prices on Product Pins soon.
Including prices on pins has always been an effective marketing technique for ecommerce marketers, but this new feature could drive even more sales than previously thought. According to a study by Shopify that was released before this new feature came out, pins with prices on them already get 36% more likes than the average pin and people referred from Pinterest are 10% more likely to buy the product -- but this new feature could entice price-conscious pinners and skyrocket sales for ecommerce companies.
This new feature is also really exciting from an email marketing perspective. These new prices alerts are basically a targeted, personalized email send to your most engaged Pinterest users ... and you didn't have to do any of the work. Bonus: if your Pinterest users are Gmail users using the new inbox layout, you might be able to find a way out of the "dreaded" Promotions tab into the Social tab (or even the primary inbox if the Gmail user is a Pinaholic).

Branch - Highlights: Rethinking Positive Feedback
Creating content online can be nerve-racking and time-consuming, so we think it’s especially important to give feedback and encouragement to the people who do openly share their ideas.
We’re used to doing this using actions like Favorites, Likes and Hearts. Upvotes and downvotes. These gestures are powerful, but we wanted to create a feedback mechanism that signals not if something is good or bad, but whether it’s worthy of your time. Content can be interesting, controversial, original, thoughtful, or funny — and worth reading, and worth telling other people to read — but still not feel quite right with a big red heart on it.
