Feeds and permalinks

Sidewiki supports feeds for a given web page. Admittedly they are not easy to discover (we're working on improving that) but the are described in our API documentation. Look for "Retrieving Sidewiki entries written for a particular web page" in http://code.google.com/apis/sidewiki/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html

Sidewiki also supports permalinks for each post. When you're reading this entry, click on the "Share" menu in the bottom right. The first menu item is "Link" which is a permalink to the post. Here's an example: http://www.google.com/sidewiki/entry/bryan.working/id/ebSnkQ-d7jclMKruX1Pqs0W06bs

You can also use the "Share" menu to share via email, Twitter or Facebook.

in reference to:

"If there was a way to get RSS feeds for SideWiki entries on a per-page basis that would have been amazing. There are multiple organizations, sites and pages that I would like to subscribe to and get constant feeds of what people are saying about the pages. Currently I cannot seem to find an easy way of doing that with SideWiki. There is something about having hyperlinks to your Twitter posts which makes twitter special. Features where I can at-least get permanent links or URLs of SideWiki comments; would have made SideWiki golden."
