Sidewiki: The Web is my social network
Google tool opens up new side of browsing
By Gahlord Dewald, Tuesday, October 6, 2009.Google has recently released a new feature for those who have the Google Toolbar installed. It's called Sidewiki. Using this new feature, visitors can leave comments about your site in a sidebar (the Sidewiki).
For example, someone looking for real estate information in your area is able to leave a comment in Sidewiki detailing what they think of your site and how it works. This sort of thing has been done in the past, but none of the past versions were done by a company with the clout of Google.
Overall, this brings up a few interesting thoughts. Sure, Google bills its ability to allow users to add "helpful information" to Web sites "right in your browser."
