Stars Make Google Search More Personal

Posted by Scott March 5, 2010

Google talks about a new search feature on their blog:

We've long believed that personalization makes search more relevant and fun. For nearly five years, we've been tailoring results with personalized search. Today we're announcing a new feature in search that makes it easier for you to mark and rediscover your favorite web content — stars.
