Google Sidewiki

Google launched Sidewiki, a new feature of the Google Browser Toolbar. It let's you comment on web pages in an collapsing side window. See the video for details.

It will be interesting to see how Sidewiki deals with spam and abuse.

If you're operating a website, it is probably a good idea to install Google Toolbar to check what people are saying about your site, even if it's only visible to Sidewiki users. Unfortunately the toolbar isn't available for Safari, but Firefox and IE.

There is no official opt-out yet. But if you want you can block out all google toolbar users from your site so they can't read or write comments: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/020857.html
