Startup Claims Google Copied Web-Annotation Product
An anonymous reader writes "Web annotation startup ReframeIt claim Google copied their web annotation product when releasing Google Sidewiki. At first glance, the products do look quite similar, and this eWeek article has some interesting evidence, including suspicious user registrations by Google employees and an attempt by Google to hire off ReframeIt's lead engineer."
Maybe this pointless Google project will die even sooner.
It died because you touched yourself too much.
Between this Sidewiki, and Google's counter lawsuit to to Android trademark owner where the line of what the meaning of Google's "do no Evil" mantra means is very very blurred.
Could those of you who are not using free storage or Google services give their opinion...
Is it evil to:. hire the lead engineer of much a smaller competing product, from whom who you have copied the product?
