Stix.to is a website and Firefox extension allowing users to leave messages on other sites. When users sign up and install the plugin, pressing the button in Firefox pops up two boxes where you can leave messages which can then even be read by anyone else who has the extension installed and visits a site which has comments on it.

Using it I was quite annoyed to see the messages people put as I was hearing the automated voice attempting to read the gibberish people put up. While it’s an interesting concept the interface that you deal with is not very appealing to the eyes and for such a thing to make a real impact a lot more people are going to have install it and find use for it. The site says that it could be of interest even people who want to vandalize sites when in reality this “vandalism” won’t affect people who don’t install the plugin. It seems that for anyone who might be interested in such a thing may be better of checking out Fleck.
