I just&lt;br&gt;don't see Google mucking with the main index, for the reasons you&lt;br&gt;describe.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mathewi</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2007 23:44:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is Google crowdsourcing?

Furthermore, it increases the likelihood of gaming by the scum of the Internet. I highly doubt (maybe 0% chance or so) that Google would ever choose this route.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The only thing I can see working is a situation where you can "vote" your OWN results up and down, so that Google can adapt to your behavioural patterns and results should become more relevant. Of course, this would have no effect on the searches of others though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers,&lt;br&gt;Aidan&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.MappingTheWeb.com"&gt;www.MappingTheWeb.com&lt;/a&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">aidanhenry</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:50:53 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
