Google's SideWiki: Love the Immediacy, Ubiquity and Intimacy -- BUT. . .




Okay -- I also love the content (thanks, Anonymous!) -- but can I trust Google to remain true to the "Don't Be Evil" motto?

Do I really believe that Google's "comment on anything, anywhere" technology isn't also a data-mining/sales operation? Of course not. So -- while I love the content the SideWiki will show me (especially that depicted above -- click to enlarge!) -- I will probably pass on installing the toolbar, and SideWiki, for now.

What are your thoughts? Am I overly focused on data privacy (and safety of preserving anonymous identities)? Am I being silly? Is SideWiki effective, as a pharma-commentary tool? Let me know.

Namaste
