Overall, I see no reason why you wouldn't add a message to the site as an owner and keep an eye on this (you should talk to your employer about adding one on their site! :-) ).  I periodically survey client sites and those of sites you'd think would have trouble with people posting bad things on their sites and have so far seen traction for Sidewiki -- I don't think most web users are that excited about it.  Even the Sidewiki's for companies like Microsoft and Wal-Mart are pretty tame. Still worth watching to see if it takes off during, say, a company's crisis or if they really screw up on something... This is a useful overview, David.

I have to admit, I find Sidewiki discomfiting. Since most web properties already have feedback mechanisms, this seems like an invitation to the malevolent more than anything else. I suppose it's one thing for a visitor to my home to leave me a nasty letter on my dining room table, but must he also be able to paint it across my garage door?
