A new feature on the Google toolbar —which is installed on millions of computers around the world—lets users comment about the content of any web page they visit; the comments are then visible to other toolbar owners when they visit that site (see screenshot to the left). Group product manager Caesar Sengupta tells us the company wants to “help foster and create communities around different web pages” and provide a functionality that is currently missing from most websites. While most every site that has editorial content offers commenting options, Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) is trying to bring commenting to other parts of the web—from Center For Disease Control pages on heart disease, where a doctor might have an insight to share, to informational sites on films. But the feature, called Sidewiki, may anger some online publishers who have commenting systems of their own that they’d prefer visitors continue to use.

I've been playing all day with the new Threadsy, the new Seesmic desktop, the unreleased Brizzly, the new TweetDeck desktop, and the new PeopleBrowsr. "Oh, Scoble, you are being stupid again," I can just hear some of you saying. But hear me out. This isn't just the demented discussion of someone who has gotten way too little sleep due to the birth of his new son a few days ago.

Paris, France (CNN) -- With more than 2,000 Internet movers and shakers, the LeWeb conference in Paris is an ideal spot for start-up ventures to hoping to attract the investment and attention that will propel them to Twitter or Facebook-style success. A series of stalls across the venue -- a giant arts complex converted from a disused morgue -- saw fresh-faced entrepreneurs demonstrating gadgets and applications they insisted will change the way we interface with the Internet. These might just be the inventions that everyone will be talking about next year or they could simply slip below the radar. Either way, all will face the same question still being leveled at today's household names -- can they make money? While most insisted they could generate genuine revenue for their start-ups, others were more even-handed about their prospects. "Will it be successful?
Twitter and Facebook Investment Terms and Game Plans - ReadWrite
There is a lot of chatter in the blogosphere about the recent $100 million investment in Twitter at a $1 billion valuation, but most of it based on speculation. Twitter and Facebook are private companies. You cannot get the facts simply by typing a stock symbol into Yahoo Finance. Our mission at ReadWriteWeb is to add to the facts, not just the speculation.

Jeudi dernier 10 septembre, Twitter a annoncé qu’il opérait une modification unilatérale des conditions d’utilisation du service ( TOS – Terms of Service ). La firme en avait le droit et nous étions prévenus : les précédentes conditions indiquaient expressément que de tels changement pouvaient intervenir (“ We reserve the right to alter these Terms of Use at any time …). Les premiers commentateurs ont immédiatement relevé qu’ une porte était à présent ouverte en matière de publicité , aspect important qui fait évoluer le modèle économique de Twitter en réponse aux débats sempiternels sur la viabilité de ce service de plus en plus utilisé, sans être pour autant rentable. The Services may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the Content or information on the Services, queries made through the Services, or other information. The types and extent of advertising by Twitter on the Services are subject to change.

The new feature looks relatively sophisticated and will use a new URL shortener, goo.gl . FeedBurner has not proven the most reliable service in recent years and is now part of the ad network AdSense, but the little startup Twitterfeed isn't always reliable either. It does, though, have more incentive to innovate and work in user's interests.

Twitter Starts Testing Features for Businesses
We know that Twitter believes that businesses are central to helping grow and monetize the microblogging service; recent integrations with Citysearch and LinkedIn have foretold its interest in the space. Today though, Twitter has begun to take its biggest steps in providing new features to businesses and monetizing those features. In a blog post , the company announced that it has begun beta testing its first feature made specifically for businesses: “Contributors.” An Explanation of the Contributors Feature Contributors is a feature that focuses on creating more authentic engagement for business accounts. With Contributors, a business account with multiple contributors (say, for example, the @Twitter feed) can add the specific user that tweeted on behalf of the business to the byline.Business Information and News: Track, Connect and Share - Tracke

Now that the Chrome browser is becoming available for Mac, and the Snow Leopard OS doesn't play nicely with Gears, a Google rep confirmed the company has decided to trash the whole works and wait for HTML5, even though the spec isn't yet ready and isn't supported by commercially available browsers. Oh, the humanity... or rather, the machinery.
