"Search WIKI" User Rating when Loged into Google

Google apparantly launched a new "Search Wiki" feature when you are viewing seach results and are logged into your google account.

Just to the right of the search resutls there is an up Arrow, and an X.
The Arrow elevates the item in your search results.
The X removes the item from your search results.



There is also a () Thought balloon after the "Similar pages" link which allows the user to make comments. These comments are viable by other users who are logged into and record which google user made the comments.  This feature is referred to as SearchWiki in the popup baloon you get when you go to use the controlls.

Interesting.  I wonder how much influence this will have on Googles overall search algorythm over time...

A brave new world all over again.
