			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So Google is leaving it up to us.  Anyone with a Google account can now <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html">customize their organic results</a> any way they like.  Google is calling this new found user freedom SearchWiki.  This is interesting and important because, you&#8217;ve got to figure, Google is going to be keeping an eye on everyone&#8217;s votes.  But whatsoever would they do with the data?</p>
<p>Feedback from Google:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dupont was noncommittal about whether the company planned to build in that feedback loop, either directly as a signal to influence search rankings or indirectly as extra data that could help the company judge the relevance of its search results. But he certainly didn&#8217;t rule the idea out. We don&#8217;t close any doors. We constantly evaluate signals&#8221; that are incorporated into the search results algorithm. Search is adapting to the Internet as it becomes a more participatory medium. Now you have people telling us specific things about how they&#8217;d like to see their search results.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I guess it&#8217;s wait and see time.  But seriously, how fun is it to mess with the organic results?!</p>
