Hm. Just noticed changes in Google Search

When was the last time Google messed with their search page? Seems like in this past week's big push (they killed Lively and made changes to Gmail) they seemed to have added some controls to their search results (or at least, as suggested below, I finally got to see it).

There are promote and remove buttons and a comment button. Has the GOOG finally realized that robots can't do it all?

This feature has been getting rolled out for a while (a report from Read Write Web). And it seems to me that it actually is something personal, rather than publicly shared. Though it's probably one more, "use it privately and we aggregate and data mine it" (like Gmail).

I think this is a big thing for Google.
