Forget the Algorithm, this is the New Google

So apparently Google is going to implement a system that allows users to click '+1' for the links that they like. Eventually, this will be a solid base of search results as opposed to the algorithm as discussed in our SEO class.

Personally, I don't like this idea. I like the idea that Google works to connect you to the best link, not the most liked link. It has been suggested that this is as a result of failed social platform attempt 'Google Buzz', still, I don't like this idea.

What do you all think?
