Faves for this Web page

I do think search + community could work together well (duh). However, I think some aspects of Google's implementation are confusing. And, I'm surprised Google didn't launch it as an experimental feature first.
Specific complaints:
1) Promote/Remove: I don't really get the value. If there is value, it is certainly not immediately obvious. Does promoting it just affect me, or does it affect everybody? What if I click remove, and the underlying page changes to the point that it now might be valuable? I just want Google to do the right thing without me having to train it.
2) I have a "Note This" and "Comment" links at the bottom of my search results. That "feels" a little redundant.Also, I wonder why Google just didn't keep the Star/Share metaphors that they use on their other products.

Quoted: Bucket tests and experimental products are one thing. But to mess with the real Google search is serious stuff. Why did they do it? Google's overall search share has grown substantially this year (and all other years since it went live). Their share of search advertising dollars is likely even higher. The changes Google made to search today certainly

Cool!
1 FaverViewed: 36 TimesQuoted: Finally, a way to backup to Windows Live Skydrive! Here’s what you need:
_ A Windows Live Skydrive Account
_ Gladinet (Read my post on how to install and configure it)
_ Comodo BackUp
_ At least 10GB’s of free temporary storage(I’m barely surviving 8GB’s of free storage)
_ DSL or higher(I’m using DSL, and it stinks. Dialup users: forget it.)
Now that Skydrive has 25GB’s of storage, you start to wonder why that there isn’t a free backup solution. Well, now there is. After hours of searching and testing, I can now say I have found an almost perfect solution(and yes, I do have a life). Put on your seatbelts. Let’s jump in. - mohit - 23 days ago1 FaverViewed: 7 Times

i dinked around with the 'promote / remove' feature as well. felt that the remove feature did the opposite of what i felt it should. i would remove a search results and it would appear at the bottom more prominently asking me if i really wanted to remove these items. so instead of removing / demoting these search results they actually made me take a closer look at them.
