The best thing about the Internet is the free and open proliferation of information and opinions.  The worst thing about the Internet is the free and open proliferation of information and opinions, particularly the opinion part.  With the massive popularity of social networks, everyone and their grandma (and even their dog) has caught a case of electronic verbal diarrhea and is constantly spouting their every thought out into the web universe.  Now there is another hopeful start-up company seeking to cash in on the social phenomenon: Kutano, which means gathering in Swahili, is a little browser add-on that allows you to comment on any page you visit on the Internet via a pop-up side-bar displaying related discussions on your current page’s topic.   The most amusing thing this author can think of to use for this app would be to google the oddest search topics ever and see what Kutano comes up with; for example, the slew of search results generated by Google’s helpful “my poo is green” search string.  Are you feeling lucky today?
