Hmmm, and it would be a way of commenting on any site while keeping your 
IP number between yourself and Google, too. Not that I would expect a 
radio discussion to be as interested in privacy issues as we sometimes 
are. If this ever turned out to be popular, there would be a spam issue. 
Is Google's idea that if you spam on Sidewiki they nuke your pagerank on 
their search engine?

It's a big shame they have attached "wiki" to something that isn't (is 
more in the blogging family of user-generated opinion content, if you 
ask me). I thought these guys were supposed not to be evil.
