Comments on: Intel's Think Link is a paradise for fact trolls

Intel's got a new project from its research team that lets users dispute what they see as inaccurate, or otherwise misleading claims on the Web.

this is a very interesting and well written article, unfortunately it seems like the editors at c-net decided to slap on an inapproriate title calling the tool a 'paradise for fact trolls.' either they don't understand what a troll is (trolls are bias fanbois who will are very rarely just) or they just want to excite readers by using sensationalist headlines. there is not one use of the word "troll" in the whole article and they throw it in the headline. sad, cause i found this to be a very informative and interesting article.

Headline is all mine. I used it in the sense of people calling out information as being inaccurate without having any basis to back it up. This tool lets them do that.

The plugin currently only works correctly if you are have been invited to the private beta and have entered a correct login and password. If you just download it and try it then it will fail in the way you describe. I've added a warning notice to the page on addons.mozilla.org to make this clear.

We'll hopefully be expanding opening Think Link to the masses soon - but not quite yet...
