With the Sidewiki bookmarklet, you can utilize Google Sidewiki on any browser, even if you don't have the Google Toolbar installed. The Sidewiki bookmarklet is a small piece of code stored as a bookmark. When you click the bookmark, it opens a new window where you can write a new Sidewiki entry or see entries that others have written for the page you're viewing. Certain Sidewiki features available in Google Toolbar, like the notification bar, are not available with the bookmarklet.
