Vote on Google Results

Posted by:

That’s not all, if you’re a signed-in user of Google you can leave comments, all wiki-style.

I’m not sure whether this is going to stay on mainstream search results and what influence this will have, but I’m assuming it’s personalised results and that Google will ‘learn’ your preferences.

I can’t see it influencing general search results as that would open the system up to gaming of all sorts (according to Seth Godin), but there is value in it for Google to show users more of what they want to see.

It’ll be interesting to see how comments will be moderated… Only time will tell!

    I think Seth actually made a huge mistake on this one. He made a false remark that “And they will be seen by others”.

    That’s just plain not true. I called him out on my blog.

    I hear you. Might have been that he was referring to the comments (as it states on Google ‘public comment’), although I don’t see that being shared either, just doesn’t seem manageable from a moderation point of view.
