Sidewiki, Google's newest online gizmo, gives its toolbar users the ability to write annotations and read the comments of others. Pretty cool and definitely worth a look, but I am unsure of how well it will be adopted. IMHO web users already have their hands full with existing tools.
Basically Sidewiki opens a column on the left-hand side of your browser where you can view and respond to the comments of others.
Comments will, of course, be organized by Google's mysterious, ever-evolving algo. This raises the issue of...drumroll please...SEO implications. Will these comments figure into page rank and SERPs? How long until SEO spammers render the whole system irrelevant? Will a page full of paid comments add or take away from your web experience? How will Google combat this?
Interesting to see how this tool will be used. Stay tuned...
Best,
Bobby
