Google is now experimenting with adding social interaction to it’s search terms. You can have a read here google.com/experimental to see if it’s something you’d like to try too. Basically they are trying to see if they can get users to add a +1 to a site listing search that they will use / find useful / have gone to etc and the user can mark it up.

As we have seen with all of these types of ‘voting’ systems (digg for example) is that they are open to misuse and potential to be abused. I have signed up because I would like to see how this does progress and if it means that I may start to get even more relevant results, or saves me a big more leg wok to research sites carefully then I am all for it. I guess it will depend on how others use it and what sites they find valuable.
