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.

    Don't worry, Google's in charge of it - the same group that reads our emails for advertisements and publishes our documents in search results. I'm sure they'll come up with a way.
