reCAPTCHA
Another Google product. Wish I could grab a screen shot of the site. There are no identifying marks indicating a Google product other that the copyright 2010 at the bottom of the page:
reCAPTCHA is a free anti-bot that helps digitize books

Web Elements
Google Web Elements seems to be a collection of fifteen applications that enable Google products for display and use on personal websites. It is unclear if these applications are for Google Sites only, or Blogger too, as it is a Google property, or non-Google sites too.

Google Sidewiki
Why is Google Sidewiki only available for Internet Explorer and Firefox? This Google page states that Sidewiki is a feature of Google Toolbar, which is only available on IE and Firefox. However, there is a Google Chrome browser extension to enable Sidewiki usage.
The obvious question is: Why would Google Sidewiki not be available for users of Google Chrome browser?
A second question: Why does the page heading list the product as
Google sidewiki
yet the text refers to the product as
Sidewiki
with a capital ‘S’ ?
This is not a minor typographical error, as there are copyright and trademarks associated with all Google’s products.
One last observation: I just noticed that the URL is non-US domestic:
http://www.google.com/sidewiki/intl/en_GB/index.html
I’m uncertain if that is of any relevance. I arrived at this page merely by going from my own Google profile to one of my Sidewiki entries on the subject of Sidewiki.
To be continued….
