Google has just released a tool that can put on your Google Toolbar that allows you to comment on any website and see the comments of everybody else.  This is going to create a “huge” response from website owners (mostly large companies) that are not liked very well for their custom service.

Google has an algorithm that determines priorities for the order of comments that are shown and theoretically filters out “nasty comments. I could see the health insurers getting “slammed” for their practices in the first bout of comments.  Also cell phone companies, utilities, etc. have not been open to much public feedback.  This is really a major step in social media that takes public collaboration and opinion to the next level.

Put this on your Google toolbar and comment away.  If the site has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate this feature won’t work.  In order to protect your site, you can put on a SSL certificate which you can obtain from Go Daddy.
