In yet another example of how Google and others are optomizing how users can define how they interact with content on the net, Google rolled out their “Search Wiki” feature late last week.  I first noticed it Thursday when I googled the Christa MCAuliffe Technology Conference, where I’ll be presenting next week in Nashua, New Hampshire.

The search results showed as usual, but had some new arrows and x’s beside the links.  At about the same time, someone twittered about the new feature, so I checked it out.

In short, the feature allows individuals to prioritize individual sites, exclude them altogether or annotate the sites.  All of these features only show in their own searches – as defined by their Google user login – but annotations can also be searched by others.

This short video provides more explanation.
