Toolbar Voting

[kidder]

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on where Google is going with this given the majority of toolbar users are webmasters the data drawn would have limited usefullness. When you cast a vote for a site via the toolbar what does that do?

This is what Google says (my bold type):

Voting buttons: If you especially like or dislike a web page you're visiting and want to share your opinion with Google, you can vote thumbs up by clicking the happy face or thumbs down by clicking the unhappy face. These buttons can also be used to report especially useful or unsatisfactory results after searching with Google. Just click the appropriate button while you're still on the results page. This feature is currently in test mode, so you will not notice any immediate effects based on your action, other than experiencing a warm sense of satisfaction from having shared your feelings with people who really do care.

Who doesn't want a warm sense of satisfaction, eh?

the feature doesn't work. I clicked twice and felt no warm sensation. Im glad i never paid for this. Maybe its buggy?
