searchengineherald.com— "Straight from google experimental labs, they’re experimenting on search engine ranking which can be influenced by users via a “vote” (sort of like digg)."

"any story with any mention of Ron Paul will never see the front page because of those that autobury based on content."Really? I count 234 non-buried front page stories for Ron Paul in the Digg search engine. By comparison "Clinton" also has 234 (including some stories about other Clintons), and "Obama" has 205. Compared with Ron Paul's support in the real world, I'd say he's "group dugg" far more than he's "auto buried". If Google does implement such a system it won't be their only ranking criteria. I'm also sure they'll use something like PageRank to give more weight to users who rate well and attempt to filter out spamming.
"Imagine that every scientologist on the planet is told to 'bury' anti-scientology sites...no more negative information appears when a search for scientology is done."That would only work if the masses didn't do the exact opposite and digg those sites up.As for the Digg effect... Google is not Digg. With Google, you search for specific keywords. So you would search for Ron Paul on Google. With Digg, people get annoyed at seeing Ron Paul mentioned constantly. So they digg stories with him down. (YET HE STILL MAKES IT TO THE FRONT PAGE REGULARLY!) But with google, the only people that would see Ron Paul sites would be the ones searching for his name. And generally the only people that would do that are ones actually looking for useful information on him. FEW people are going to go out of their way to search Ron Paul just so they can digg down every site on him, compared to the masses which are doing it to find out more. So the useful sites WILL make it to the top of the results.Just cause something doesn't work for Digg doesn't mean it can't work for Google.
Google just likes to place a portion of the burden on users. That's what they did with PageRank. Instead of Google hiring humans to weight sites and provide them 'value', Google assesses who all links to you and gives you a value automatically based on that. That is why spammers hammer on the inbound links so much. It's a voting system. A really really really corrupt voting system that rewards those who have huge linking budgets and PR campaigns.
