[...] Google Desktop’s Sidebar also does an interesting job of feed integration, based upon blogs visited in the recent user history, with its WebClips offering. [...]

Sidebar replacing Toolbar? Toolbar is about pulling searched content; Sidebar is about receiving pushed content. The search box in Sidebar delivers desktop results. It wouldn’t surprise me to see *real* Google search added to the Sidebar, but for now Sidebar and Toolbar are distinctly different products. Neither is replacing the other.

The Google Sidebar is certainly cool (as is Konfabulator, Desktop Sidebar, Apple Dashboard, and, eventually, the Windows Vista Sidebar). However, it is only part of the answer to having a fully integrated “personal intelligence agent” at your disposal. If you want to get a glimpse at the next two or three steps beyond what Google and the like are doing, check out my Mentations product at http://www.mentations.com. While still an early beta, I hope the intent is clear as to the direction we are taking it! BTW, any constructive criticism is most welcome.

> Webclips is Googleâ€™s answer to NewsGator or other feed aggregation services.
Are you really sure? I’m puzzled by WebClips. They’re not nearly robust enough to replace Bloglines and NG, but I’m guessing that non-geeks will find the WC capricious and confusing. I’m hoping this particular sidebar component gets updated significantly.
