Google Wikifies Search Result But with Limited Access!

Google has launched a new Searchwiki service to provide users with a more personalized and interactive search option. There is a place where you can add your comment and publicize the comment for others to view of any page from any website.

You can also promote the websites you loved and remove others from the google search results. So next time you search for the same item, Google will make sure that you will be provided with your selected website at the top.

Google’s product manager Cedric Dupont and software engineer Corin Anderson explained in a blog post,

With just a single click you can move the results you like to the top or add a new site.  You can also write notes attached to a particular site and remove results that you don’t feel belong. These modifications will be shown to you every time you do the same search in the future. SearchWiki is available to signed-in Google users.

The explanation for this boundary is simple, as users might have a different view on that represents a helpful result, and that is why each one can adjust these parameters as they see fit.

This one will surely make wiki more popular because most of the people love using personal references and hate to make it public. But strengthening Google’s market strategy from this service will not be a wild guess. It could be used by Google to better target its ad campaign, depending on the specific interest of each individual.

Though the funniest part is, when we tried to log-in from India we couldn’t and with the same account we used a proxy to pretend that we are from USA and we could see the features. Does that make sense? Why isn’t Google being international yet!

What do you think? Write to us. Don/t you think we have used this type of a service before?
