Google sidewiki is an extension for the Google Toolbar allowing users to post annotations on a website. Annotations will be available for everyone entering the site.
To create annotations users need a Google account, being able to annotate the whole Web page or portions of it.
The current version of Google sidewiki allow users:
- To keep track of the comments they have already read.
- To value other’s annotations as useful or not.
- To share annotations via link, email, Twitter and Facebook.
- To access all the annotations created by any user.
Once installed from http://www.google.com/sidewiki/intl/en/index.html, you can visit http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/prevention.htm to see Google sidewiki in action.
