Google Sidewiki has been released as feature on the Google Toolbar (for Firefox and Internet Explorer), though it doesn’t work on Google Chrome or other browsers just yet. With it, users can contribute and read useful information related to the current webpage, which will be displayed only on the browser’s sidebar.

Google has also taken care to ensure only the most relevant entries are displayed using a ranking algorithm.

“We worked hard from the beginning to figure out which ones (entries) should appear on top and how to best order them. So instead of displaying the most recent entries first, we rank Sidewiki entries using an algorithm that promotes the most useful, high-quality entries. It takes into account feedback from you and other users, previous entries made by the same author and many other signals we developed,” explains Sundar Pichai, VP product management and Michal Cierniak, engineering lead for Google Sidewiki in an official blog post.

While comparisons to Wikipedia are expected because of the product’s name, it’s being viewed by tech experts such as those at GigaOm as a ‘universal commenting system’.

Before Google made Sidewiki public, it was trialled by several experts and news organisations, including author of Wisdom 2.0 and Huffington Post blogger Soren Gordhamer who endorses the product.

“Now, any time you want to add information to a web page, you can easily do so, as well as read what other people have to say about it. It’s as if we now have a central and unified web conversation tool,” commented Gordhamer.

However, if you’re using Google to try and figure out what exactly Twitter are a bit suspect. Type “Twitter is” into the iconic search box and Google will suggest words like retarded, useless, lame, and pointless. Take a look:

A bit of resentment towards the microblogging startup being played out on Google? While that would make quite a story, that’s almost definitely not the case. How do we know? If you type in “Google is,” you’ll get suggestions like “making us stupid” and “watching you.” Nonetheless, it’s an amusing little intricacy of the search engine we previously weren’t aware of.
