I certainly remember Third Voice, which let people to comment on the websites via a browser plugin, and this didn't get along well with the  Website owners where  people were “defacing” their websites with comments they couldn’t control.

But the idea wasn't dumped out completely as Google now has launched something called "Sidewiki".

Sidewiki is part of Google Toolbar and it will be built directly into Google’s Chrome browser. Users activate the service by clicking on a button and a sidebar appears to the left of whatever website is being viewed. The user can then leave a comment on the entire page or a selected piece of text, and share the URL via email, Twitter or Facebook, but Google says they’ll add more partners later. Users can also embed videos into the Sidewiki.

 

 

Other users can read and vote comments up or down. All those votes will create a user ranking for each individual that will determine where their comments fall on the Sidewiki. The higher the ranking, the higher comments appear. The goal, Google says, is to help move better content up and move spam stuff to the bottom where it won’t be seen. Website owners who have claimed their sites always have the right to the first comment on any URL they control.

What do you think about this new launch from google? And what kind of potential do you see in Sidewiki?
