Sidewiki – potential impact on website owners
Sidewiki is the latest offering from Google. It enables your visitors to make comments about your website – and these are visible to all other visitors with Sidewiki enabled. If you are not aware of the development, however, this graffiti on your site is potentially a very nasty surprise!
Clearly this is something that every website owner now needs to take into account. Whether it is simply as another cost – like washing a high-street shop’s windows, or potentially a useful design supplement for seeding additional information about your site into the side bar!
CookandKaye are on to it so watch this space!
For more information, or to enable Sidewiki yourself:
