RE: Google Sidewiki: Do [No?] Evil

Gregory, thanks for the thoughtful comment.  In general I agree with what you've written.  Actually, I like SideWiki, but I sitll think it threatens the ciphon some content quality way from the web site owner.

The net effect might be an overall increase in content quality--from the perspective of the content consumer.  But this (potential) increase might also hurt the site owner by capturing content in Google that might have otherwise been captured by the site owner.  Every comment that is captured in SideWiki instead of as a comment directly on a web site represents one small shift in (information) assets.
