The Google Toolbar currently only works with Firefox and Internet Explorer. One more common question I am getting a lot already…

Google does not provide the ability to edit a comment once it is posted or remove it. Once someone puts something up it is there permanently. One caveat is that the only people who can see Sidewiki comments are people who have the NEW Google Toolbar downloaded on Firefox or IE. Right now this number is probably low, but it will increase dramatically as the word spreads over the coming months.<br><br>Common Question #2<br><br>QUESTION: Can Google Sidewiki be blocked on my site?<br><br>ANSWER: Yes, there is a way to completely block Google Sidewiki, which would prevent people from commenting on your site without your oversight. You can view how to do this here: <a href="http://ow.ly/r1Zq" rel="nofollow">http://ow.ly/r1Zq</a>. One thing to keep in mind with this though is that if you implement this, then anyone who has the Google Toolbar will not be able to see your website. You will have to redirect them from a page that explains why they are being blocked. Is this worth it to you? Just wanted to add a couple quick things regarding Google Sidewiki:
