So it'll just be another toy for webmasters to promote their own sites.

The more friends and people loving you the better you will be able to influence the search results and if Google may take this into consideration then SEO will change completely. It maybe somewhat more difficult than it is now if Google take this approach. Luis Then it seems, social networking would be a real smart move.

Your perspective makes a lot of sense, I bet most people immediately “promote” their site when they first discover Google SearchWiki.

I guess, Google should have changed the design of the up and down button. Its looks just the same. This is the same feature that AVG internet security provides.

The first thing that popped in my mind, when I read this in the google blog, was that they are going to use the user input to modify the way google spits out search results to everyone. When you sign up with google, you agree that they can gather information from your input. An example would be gmail. They show ads based on the content in your e-mails. Google yet, came up with another brilliant idea. I'm not going to speculate how hard it will be to be displayed as #1 on search results but I guess that mixes up the search result markets and who knows it might be better for smaller websites and ruin some of the big companies...like misterwong I totally agree with you.

It is easily vulnerable to hacks and furthermore i cant see why they implemented this strange thing. What benefit can this provide the regular user of Google search service?

It's like building a house on the edge of a mudslide.

Big audience is not interested to create Google accounts and trying to promote their own site by clicking their own search results. They do not even know what Google account is, not to mention SearchWiki. Perhaps Google is just collecting information about who owns websites like some suggested in previous comments. Or this feature is just what Google is telling it is. (only affects your own results.) I do not see however that SearchWiki feature will be huge success. Why? Because people do not search for same things over and over again. If I happen to search for something current, it is likely that I will never search for it again. So there is no point in promoting or arrange any search results. Will it have any impact on SEO? That is just another issue that SEO people can be wondering and write blogs about it. :) Mostly people do not have any clue how Google, or anything on the Internet, works.
