This article is the first I have heard of SideWiki and I went and got it right away. For anyone with an ounce of critical thinking ability, this tool will be an amazing addition to their web experience.
Slander and libel are still illegal and I'm certain that lawsuits will follow, as comments can be easily traced by Google Accounts. But let's not forget that truth is a defence against defamation suits.
The simple fact is that anyone could start a free blog or find a forum in which to state their opinion. And I could have that blog open in a tab while browsing a specific site which has comments posted about it.
SideWiki is only streamlining the process, making it easier for people to find relevant information about the topics that they are interested in.
As far as trolls and spammers, who cares? I am certain that with a comment rating system, separating the useful information from the garbage will be quite easy. Besides some of their ignorance is amusing.
All in all I am excited to use this new tool and want to thank Hightalk for introducing me to it.
Cheers!
