Google Search : It’s Full Of Stars
Today Google annouced it was replacing the SearchWiki feature with Stars.
With stars, you can simply click the star marker on any search result or map and the next time you perform a search, that item will appear in a special list right at the top of your results when relevant. That means if you star the official websites for your favorite football teams, you might see those results right at the top of your next search for [nfl].
I really like this idea of using stars as I already use them for my Gmail and items I want to check out later on with Google Reader. It also helps in allowing you to have your favorite searches right there at the top of your search results and of course it is dead simple to implement a star.
Good work Google!
FYI Stars in search are rolling out in the next couple days and will be available globally for all signed-in users.
