Third Voice was a web annotation browser plug-in launched in 1999 by a company of the same name. [2] The motto associated with the plug-in was:Your Web. Your Voice.. [1] The plug-in allowed users to use a sidebar to annotate web sites with note and view notes left by other users. [3] A small red triangle indicated an annotation had been left by another party, these annotations not being held on the website itself but on Third Voice's own servers. [1]
The product encountered various problems in its short lifecycle. Initially when websites were visited there was often little content available from other Third Voice users. The product soon received much criticism by website owners claiming they were trying to externalize discussion. The White House website was annotated with topical jokes. Further issues arose when spammers began to leverage the product, and increased issues arose when cross-site scripting security vulnerabilities were exploited in the product. [4] [5] [6] [7] [1]
A significant campaign Say No to Third Voice (SNTTV or Say No to TV) was raised against Third Voice. [8]

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications. XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy. During the second half of 2007, XSSed documented 11,253 site-specific cross-site vulnerabilities, compared to 2,134 "traditional" vulnerabilities documented by Symantec. XSS effects vary in range from petty nuisance to significant security risk, depending on the sensitivity of the data handled by the vulnerable site and the nature of any security mitigation implemented by the site's owner network.
