Google Explores +1 Button to Influence Search Results

August 30th, 2011

I’ll re-post my commentary on this from 2008: Google Planning to Enable Mob Rule Ratings for Search Results. Fill it to the rim, with grim:

Get Ready for New and Improved Google Results: Now Powered by the Zombie Consumer Death Cult!

I have to make jokes because this is very, very grim. If you want to understand what I mean, just spend some time using Reddit without filters.

The imbeciles found their way into the machine, and they’re clicking up and down arrows, deciding what’s on top, and what disappears. Google has now implemented a similar system and they want to use that data to influence search results.

Google has proposed using data from its +1 button to help re-order search results and fight web spam. This move would take the entire search engine into the social arena.
