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?

I agree with your final POV. Hosting a blog is a time consuming process and as you point out, leaves your CEO very vulnerable. Unless he or she has something incredible to contribute on a regular basis, it makes much more sense to leave comments and guest post as time permits rather than set up unrealistic expectations. People like Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz are the exception, not the rule. Great post, Dave. I agree with your final POV.
