Google recently released an update to their toolbar called Sidewiki. What Sidewiki does is allow users on a particular website to comment and see other comments as well. I think this is a stab in the back to other commenting platforms people use on their websites and blogs, like Disqus and JS-Kit. What they’ve essentially done is killed the whole social aspect a lot of blog owners have built on their blog. What if I don’t want Sidewiki enabled for my blog? Can I set a flag to disable it?
Also, what if there are comments that I don’t want approved. Say users write derogatory comments about a website do you have authority to remove these comments? These are all things I’m curious about upon further inspection of this new product and I’m sure others are as well but I thought it was worth noting.
