I Like Wink
Wink is an interesting new search engine. It allows users to search across many "tagging" sites, such as Digg and Del.icio.us, and rate the results. However, it also searches Google, and allows users to "rate" those results. I wish Google had a feature like this. It allows something other than an algorithm to help me determine the most useful results for a search.
Do I think Wink has a bright future? Who knows... But the functionality certainly is interesting. The search engines could learn a thing or two from this idea. Could a "rating" system be another way to help fight search engine spam?

Wink is an interesting concept. I have a feeling Google or Yahoo will out-Wink Wink if Wink gets any traction. They have access to larger networks, which is really the key to making something like this work. I put together some thoughts on this last week here:
