That includes me, too.), there’s no doubt in my mind that Sidewiki’s ability to allow comments, rants, etc. adjacent to specific sites was done with an eye toward affecting overall search, perhaps even PageRank. By offering yet another way for people to comment and engage in the same space smells like another not-so-thinly-veiled strike against Facebook.

I wonder widely used this actually will be.. I guess on the plus side it means that those companies that give their customers the best experiences should receive a boost from this and those that don't treat all their customers well will lose some. Not necessarily a bad thing from a customers perspective, and while a new way you have to be competitive ultimately I don't see it changing much since those companies that treat their customers well still should be the ones currently doing the best. I do find the fact that you could sabotage competitors a little unsettling though. Very Interesting.. I wonder widely used this actually will be..
