To much effort is required by people who either wont know this feature exist or wont understand how to use it.

Lots of average users will just look for this type of feedback on the site itself or other forums geared toward feedback and reviews of a site.

This concept has been tried by a lot of guys earlier and has not been successful. So, what is Google doing new in this area?
The fact remains that you need Google Toolbar to comment and see the annotations (correct me if I am wrong). I for one do not have GToolbar installed and am not going to install one, just for this feature.

Surprisingly little innovation considering the source…

I think it would be pretty cool to have this built into the browser/OS because then it is perfectly useful.
