Google SearchWiki is live

…and I’m not the only one not seeing the point.

So you can post comments about websites. Woohoo, the web needed that so much. (Incidentally, they’re supposed to be public, but I couldn’t find what I’m supposed to do to see other people’s comments.)

And you can rearrange results… but the ranking is only affecting your own search results (at least for now; but it’s so easy to game I don’t see how they could get any significant data from that). I guess you could see a tiny benefit if you’re the kind of person who uses Google in lieu of bookmarks, but then the “I’m feeling lucky” button doesn’t even acknowledge your personal ranking (at least for now, again).

Still, you can press the “x” to remove a page, and I guess it’s always nice to vent your frustration at an unrelevant search result by deleting it, but…

Oh, right, so it’s a placebo?
