Google SideWiki Brings Comments To Everyone

Posted by timothy on from the obvious-things-are-hard-to-get-right dept.

Rophuine writes "Google has launched a product called SideWiki. It takes the form of a plug-in to Firefox and Internet Explorer which allows users to mark up the web by adding comments which can be seen by anyone else running SideWiki." Google's version joins a long line of attempts to impose a layer of comments on the Web, including Microsoft's Smart Tags and Third Voice.

  1. I had an idea like this once by Junior+J.+Junior+III · · Score: 0, Redundant

    About 12 years ago, I had the thought that it would be great if there was a way to annotate any web page, and make the annotations viewable by others. I never could figure out how it would actually work, but I'm glad to see that something like my concept has come to fruitition.
