lifehacker.com — Windows/Mac/Linux: Google Sidewiki is a new browser plug-in that adds a universal commenting system to the web, allowing users to comment and read other people's comments on any page on the internet. It's not a new idea, but, well, it's Google.

There was a similar service called Thirdvoice, which used metatags rather than browser plugins. Hopefully this sticks around for a while.

Would be cool if it put some designation on the page as to where the comment was being directed. I didn't see anything about that in the video. On a side note, you can't try it unless you're using Firefox, or IE. No love from Google for Google Chrome yet.
