Google to let you comment on anything, anywhere

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Ever wish you could speak your mind on some blog, but the jerk running it has the commenting system turned off? Well Google has good news for you: A new feature coming to the ubiquitous Google Toolbar will add a discussion system to every web page on earth. Just pop open the so-called Sidewiki window, speak your mind, and every other Google Toolbar user in the world will be able to see your thoughts when they access that page and click the "comments" button.

There's good news at least in the way Sidewiki works: Google says it will rank comments for appropriateness, and comments will be linked to Google user names -- no anonymous blather allowed.

Google offers more information on Sidewiki on this blog post. You can download the Google Toolbar with Sidewiki by visiting here. (It's not yet part of the standard Google Toolbar installation; I know, I just tried...)

Unless they plan to use community rating, that's gonna be a lot of work.

... and comments will be linked to Google user names -- no anonymous blather allowed.

Umm anyone can make a google user name using any name. It's still anonymous unless you have a subpoena.

It basically works the same way Amazon reviews work.
