What is Digg?33 Comments
- h0zae, on 11/24/2008, -0/+18I feel empowered when I search for "Google" and remove all Google services from my results.
- saadkamal, on 11/23/2008, -1/+16Not a big fan of SearchWiki...People are really annoyed by it...as Google hasn't provided any option to "Opt-out" from that feature.

And honestly, how does my ranking of search results at all affect my privacy?
You don't have to use it if you don't want to. - inactive, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4If you don't like what Google is doing and scared of their new product, I suggest you go here:
http://tinyurl.com/2ks - TheMachine1, on 11/23/2008, -0/+4Assuming Google uses the user rankings to eventually remove junk links system wide its going to be great. I notice a problem though in the comments. I have commented why I have voted down a link. But its been because multi-keywords I searched with did not apply to the article. The article may be great for the one keyword. Google needs an optional pop up menu that ask why your voting down a link. Like one would say "does not match keywords" then your keywords would pop up and you can highlight the one that the link was missing. Otherwise my comment on the article is going to be no use to most users who are not using the same odd collection of search terms.
- MavRevMatt, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3Simple way to "opt-out" at least for now, don't log in when you search.
- JeremyO, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3even simpler: do not use it - since when 2 barely visible little icons are so annoying anyway?
- kanuk20, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2actually it does, might wanna check it again.
- inactive, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Dammit, I had this idea a few months back.
- phrees, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Will Digg give Google even more personal information, 'cause all of our comments here are public.
- JackpotCity, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Ranking number one for you chosen keywords is now super easy, just remove everyone above you, LOL!
- shaherazad, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2google -> ctrl + enter is faster
- kentifer, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1In my opinion, it will give them more valuable information in general, but not more personal information.
- p1eiades, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2Amazing, 104 diggs and its down.
- MattBot5000, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1It doesn't affect the results of other people at all.
- kanuk20, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Not sure what "dgaf" is, but I agree, Google is the last thing you need to worry about. I really see no reason as to why I need to be concerned with giving Google information about my search habits.
You give other smaller companies much more valuable information like credit information, SIN's (Social Insurance Number for Non-Canadians), etc.. The last company I'm worried about is Google. - Brian994, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1The Tunnel Under the World
"...he converted them all into robots, while at the same time he was able to test the efficacy of his advertising processes." - Visarga, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1The only problem I have is the ownership of the information. If I am to be "milked" of my editorial good will, to help "The Index", then I would like all my work to be open source and published back to the masses (anonymized) - just like Wikipedia.
- spoon088, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1This Google paranoia meme gets out of hand sometimes.
- dvanamburg, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0No one really knows yet if it will be of value to users, but Google will definitely gain knowledge from it.
- h3110, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0I wonder... does this have any effect on search engine results for other users? I'm sure that if a link gets removed by lots of people that Google should remove it. But if they did, then there would be a lot of "SEO" people creating fake accounts

- dwalk165, on 12/02/2008, -0/+0good lord; pretty soon goole is going to run the world they're gonna know when and where you go to the bathroom and make sure you get the prompt and potent advertising you need while taking care of your business. Its gonna be interesting to see how everyones willingness to divulge everything to the web will change this world for us...
- Slyfer, on 06/15/2009, -0/+0I think that the search wiki is a very good idea, i just hope it works out.
:P
Thanks for the info too,
http://phonyexcuse.com/ - NewTV, on 01/05/2009, -0/+0There is a very interesting news article on DotTVNews.info, "Wikipedia and Wikia Face Harsh Criticism" written almost one year ago, and is still relevant today. URL extensions are changing. They are becoming more language like, indexable by search engines, and accessible to Internet users. Search engines search for content, but as web development practices evolve and more highly refined content management systems are created, search engines will seem to become more semantic.
Wikia, the freely licensed open source Search Engine is surely “out there,” not practical, and largely conceptual. - abhicho, on 06/14/2009, -0/+0Thanks for the info

http://www.suzuki-hayabusa.org/ - westinfunk, on 11/24/2008, -3/+2I dgaf if google has my info. Google having my info doesn't really affect my life at all so what's the point of getting all worked up?
- Nephersir7, on 11/23/2008, -5/+2Google.ca doesnt have this yet (and the URL is shorter)
