Google Lets Users Promote, Remove, Comment on Listings

November 20, 2008

This has been discussed for a few months here and there, but this is the first time I've seen it in the wild. Google SERPs are giving users the ability to "promote," "remove," or "comment" on listings:

New buttons in SERPs enable user feedback

Here's a closeup of the three. See if you can figure out which is Promote, Remove, or Comment:

I've only begun to play with them, so I have no idea what the implications are. I suspect that like with most things, Google will harness the data and use it in aggregate to try to improve relevance of results. I'm sure we'll read more about that in the next couple days, along with the imminent speculation about "what it all means," which, in the grand scheme, is usually very little. Still, it's cool.
