Ever wish you could speak your mind on some blog, but the jerk running it has the commenting system turned off? Well Google has good news for you: A new feature coming to the ubiquitous Google Toolbar will add a discussion system to every web page on earth. Just pop open the so-called Sidewiki window, speak your mind, and every other Google Toolbar user in the world will be able to see your thoughts when they access that page and click the “comments” button.
Google says it will rank comments for appropriateness, and comments will be linked to Google user names — no anonymous blather allowed.
Google offers more information on Sidewiki on this blog post. You can download the Google Toolbar with Sidewiki by visiting here.

Google lets you search with your voice on your iPhone

Google announced that it will be pushing out an update for the Google application on the iPhone that lets users search with their voice rather than trying to use the on-screen keyboard. This voice search was likely made possible using the mounds of voice information they have been gathering with their 1-800-GOOG-411 service.
You can find the free Google application in the iPhone App Store. Once you’ve either installed this application for the first time, or had it updated, you are ready to start searching with your voice. Launch the application, put it to your ear, then speak your search query to give this feature a try. It’s unclear how accurately it will translate voices into the correct words, but it’s no secret that they have been working on this technology for a long time.
