JB: “A move like this seems to point Google toward … re-portalizing the web. … While many of us start there, we don’t spend much time there – we use Google as a way to jump from place to place. If, however, we can customize Google to become a one stop shop with all our favorite places, as well as comments and social connections, we may well change our behaviors and spend more time at that start place.”
SEL: “Does all this mean SEO is dead? Anyone can make themselves have a top rank? – When you move listings around, only you see those changes. So if you make your own site number 1 when it was number 10, only you will see that change. Everyone else will still see it at number 10.”
RWW: “We wonder why Google would choose to call this feature a wiki when it’s pretty evident that’s not what it is. … Wikis are used for every kind of collaborative effort you can imagine, from tracking the history of politicians, to sharing best practices for librarians to categorizing every living species on earth. Wikis are not forums for dropping comments, spam and thumbing up your favorite web pages. – There’s a whole lot of potential here – but as it is Google SearchWiki is an absolute train wreck. Maybe when larger and larger numbers of people wash over it things will get better. We’re not so sure, though.”
Heise: “Google hat seine Websuche mit einer Funktion erweitert, die es Besuchern erlaubt, Ergebnislisten selber zu sortieren. Derzeit steht das SearchWiki genannte Feature nur auf den amerikanischen Google-Seiten bereit; ob und wann es nach Deutschland kommt, ist offen.“
