Being able to change my listings like could mean the end of my bookmarks. Just by searching by category, I can see the sites I've previously liked and promoted, and remove the junk from my listings. Why would I even bookmark a site again? From any PC, I can log into iGoogle and type in my keyword to see the results. Usefully, this would also show any new listings that weren't present when I first searched for the term : much more useful than a static bookmark menu. On the other hand, the comments feature seems likely to succumb to abuse. Already there are porn/spam links in some comments, I get enough viagra promoting e-mails without getting spam in my Google search results. That's my tuppence...and to think I could have fed the birds. I really like the functionality of the promote & remove feature.
