Google Experimenting with Digg-Style Voting

Haochi at Googlefied spotted a new experiment being run by Google Experimental Labs:

It works similar to Digg.com. You can vote up search results you like, delete the ones you don't, and even suggest pages that you think should be listed.

Seems like a search marketers dream - start up a million spambots to generate Google accounts and vote your pages to the top of the rankings.

That's a big reason why something like this would never be used by Google to influence the actual search results—too easy to spam. As Google says, this is a feature that "may be available for only a few weeks."
