Sidewikify me please

by Dave Gehring on October 27, 2009

So, the new thing seems to be Google’s Sidewiki service.  Actually, I’m not sure it’s a service, in fact, I’m not sure what it is, so maybe they have a team putting together a new nomenclature for Sidewiki which will finally steal some momentum from the Twitter vocabularly….which interestingly enough got us all to stop thinking so googley…hmm, it seems there’s an internet vernacular horse race going on.

In any case, the new horse in the race is Google’s sidewiki.  Basically, you (meaning anyone and everyone) can post a public comment on a website (meaning any website anywhere that could belong to anyone).  Your post could be raving positive, or brutally negative, and the owner of the site has no ability to moderate those comments at all.  The Comment appears along the left side of your browser if you have installed Sidewiki.  So, go to the “sidewikify me please site“, install it and you’ll see what I mean.

From a Marketer’s perspective, this seems pretty scary.  It’s super scary for Marketers who work for companies with products no one likes…do those still exist in this economy?

So, for all you folks running your own websites, better get on the bandwagon before it runs you over.  As for me, I’m the first Sidewiki post on Famplosion.com!  Which kind of stokes me actually.

I have a feeling this is going to be a real love hate relationship.  But what else is new in the realm of Internet Marketing!
