"The bookmarklet is clever, but still I think it's too inconvenient to become very popular," comments Ryan Morehart. The worst thing is that you need to click on the bookmarklet whenever you visit a new page and every time you click on the bookmarklet, it opens a new pop-up window.
Google Sidewiki's team says that it works on a Chrome extension that will add more features and it will be better integrated with the browser.

ReplyDeleteHehe.
Correction: The Sidewiki team, not the Google Chrome team, posted that they are working on an extension. They posted it on the Chrome blog, which is confusing.
ReplyDeleteis it just me or the google home page is different on chrome on karmic? i just see the logo, the search box and "press enter to search". i have to move the mouse for the other elements to appear.
ReplyDeletehey I just notice that sidewiki comment now appear in your google profile (there is a sidewiki tab)
ReplyDeleteA slightly better Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46311. It shows Sidewiki annotations in a sidebar, but you still need to click on the icon for every page you visit.
ReplyDeleteI discovered that you can actually write the top "webmaster entry" in Google Sidewiki (when I tested the bookmarklet on one of my own sites):

ReplyDeleteAnd Google Loves wiki very much, because google love the education.
I hope google make new tools for growing wiki!

Very clever indeed Google. This is similar to what Twitter does, but it's on the left side of the browser.
ReplyDelete@Alumni: That's an experiment Google's been working on. I guess you're just lucky enough to be a tester. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be great.
