RE: Google Sidewiki: Do [No?] Evil

Couple of observations so far

First, Sidewiki is very sensitive to the URL of the page being annotated, which makes sense but causes some subtle problems.  For example, after posting a comment on this item, you'll end up on a page that shows this item using a slightly different URL (in that it has an additional URL parameter related to the comment posting).

Two people who have posted comments here also posted a Sidewiki annotation after leaving their comment.  However, you probably can't find those annotations because they are not associated with this page's URL without the additional URL parameter.  But, if you first leave a comment, you'll then see them associated with the after-comment page URL.

Second, I got a chuckle out of the fact that the Anonymous comment suggesting I was a little too paranoid left a fake e-mail address and no name.  ;-)
