Google has recently added a “Notes” feature to its Search platform, allowing users to jot down reactions or thoughts about websites and articles, similar to digital sticky notes. But it seems like Notes is evolving into something more exciting – a full-fledged conversation starter.
Android Authority’s Android code expert, Assemble Debug, discovered a hidden “Comments” setting within Notes, hinting at upcoming enhancements. While the setting isn’t active yet, a clear “Comments coming soon” notice was found, indicating Google’s intentions.
If rolled out, Notes could transform into a conversation hub within search results, enabling users to discuss news stories or blog posts directly on the search page. It’s like having a focused version of Reddit integrated into your web browsing experience. Although Google’s exact plans remain unknown, this development has sparked curiosity.
When Notes first launched, Google expressed interest in allowing website owners to monitor user reactions to their content. Introducing comments could be a powerful way to achieve this goal – imagine receiving instant reader feedback instead of waiting for it through other channels.
While the comment feature is currently hidden in the code and its release date is uncertain, the potential implications are intriguing. If implemented as anticipated, Google may revolutionize our online interactions. Let’s hope that if this feature goes live, it remains available for an extended period and doesn’t disappear along with our notes and comments from loved ones.
