If you are a webmaster at all concerned about the comments on SideWiki about your websites, then my suggestion is to have a corporate webmaster message on your sites now. These messages stay at the top of your index page in the user's SideWiki browser, no matter what gets put on there after. Start by placing it on your index page, then if comments grow on one of your content pages, you can comment yourself as well.
I think for most of our sites it may take a lot longer that anyone thinks to see some comments on our pages, but still, its probably best to be first.
To get a webmaster message associated to your own website that SideWiki users will see you need to:
1- Download the Google Tool Bar with SideWiki and use either Firefox or IE. (I read this may be a permanent part of a new Chrome release soon.)
2- Sign up for webmaster tools in Google using your GMail account. Then go to "Add website". Google will produce a meta snippet for you.
3- Sync your website by placing the meta snippet on your index page html code, just under the header. If you use WP, Joomla! or other, you need to log in and retrieve the template html files to add this code. It will NOT change anything about your website.
4- Then press VERIFY.
5- You can then modify your SideWiki profile and add ALL of your verified websites with anchor text (Bonus PR back links!!!).
6- You can then refresh your webpage in your browser, open SideWiki and you will be invited to add a comment as "Webmaster".
I did this to a few of my sites yesterday and added a short welcome message, and I figure it will be a good place to put some "testimonial quotes"
