Google Sidewiki

Today browsing through the buzz I came across one more Google Service which is not yet popularly known its called Google Sidewiki.

It seems to be a fun application if more and more people start using it. Not that its an innovative idea (I think similar service existed as an Firefox addon earlier) but what makes it exciting for me is the fact that now its backed by Google. It means that more and more people will have access to it and it has a potential to become widely used application.

One has to install the Chrome Extention to use Sidewiki and then one can read the inputs/articles of other people on the visited webpage. One can post his or her comments on the webpage to his Blog, Twitter etc there by providing easy of publishing.

What I find missing was the fact that one has to click the Sidewiki icon and then also click "Read Entries" to read if any other user entries exists on the visited vebpage. I think it shhould detect and give automatic indication that the user comments on the page exists. Just realised it does give an indication that the sidewiki entries exists for the page however as per my observation the indicator comes little late..may be my net connection.. early to say...

To understand the working methodology of Google Sidewiki visit http://www.google.com/sidewiki/

So start using Sidewiki and let me know your views...

(PS: This is my first blog entry using Sidewiki)
