You are right..
I got a little hot headed here as it effected my friend investment.
I was wrong about this.
I considered pulling this post down, but we must take responsibility for what we have said so I leave it here as a reminder.

There have been browser plugins for this for ages; StumbleUpon is close to this idea and one of the largest things on the web. Forget plugins: the browser Flock did this in 2007 natively.

Google does more than enough genuinely evil stuff. You don’t need to write fanfiction for your buddy and their re-hashed idea.

I must admit, yes the idea has been around for a while. Tho the firefox pluggin as created by Feedbackloop was the first. And it is no longer on the site.
Googles is likely to be on the site quick smart and in the recommended area.

Yes, the idea is around, tho Google had the idea handed to them on a platter 7 months ago. Implementation and execution, which is basically identical.
The other ideas are similar but do not take the form of feebackloop or Sidewiki and use of Browser pluggins.

The idea has been around for a long time.
Google did not invent it and neither did feedbackloop.com.au.
