Google experiments with Digg Style rearch result

According to Google Experiment Lab, Google is experimenting with Digg style tool. That means, Google asks people to participate in the experiment where users can actually vote up and vote down the result of the site. This gives ability to the users to collectively work collaboratively to improve on the search result.

This research should probably be a testimonial to the reason why Google want to buy digg. The deal was speculated to be around $200 million dollar.

Personally, I dont think this system will work because:

People Factor
How many people do you think will bother to vote up and vote down the result? Understand that DIGG is only famous in the webmaster group and I personally would think that not that many people would be bother to vote up and vote down on the result. Furthermore, those webmasters could exploit the hole in this system. For instance, they can hire people to vote their site up of the result. So in this sense, it means the rich webmaster will get richer.

In a nutshell, as a webmaster we got to work harder to get our sites indexed by “not” just Google but other search engines too. Otherwise, we are likely to be enslave to the Google search empire.
