An annotate nodes adds a small piece of text and an arrow pointing to the object you added to the node. This is great because it can help you find your objects really fast. The notes feature of Maya is a great feature attached to every node in your scene. Take the time to note and modify the notes in your projects so you can easily find out about a scene or where the scene is in the production pipeline. An annotation node will display a piece of text which is aim constrained to the camera so it is always facing you.
