Google’s “Editorial Input” from Personalized Search Could Kill Objectivity

According to an article in The Register, Google’s Vice President of Search Product and User Experience, Marissa Mayer, observed that editorial judgments may play a key role in Google searches in the near future. Mayer made her comments at the Le Web conference in Paris on December 10th. If this change does materialize, the editorial input would come from Google’s “personalized search” as represented by its new Search Wiki. It would turn the search industry upside-down, and would likely compromise Google’s search objectivity.
