Are Social Bookmarking Sites Better at Search than Google?
I have long thought that social bookmarking and ranking sites like del.icio.us, digg, and StumbleUpon could be used to enhance current web search results. In March I argued that that StumbleUpon could easily be used for “enhancing or augmenting traditional search engine rankings.” Some people, like Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz, already think that del.icio.us provides better search results than Google.
Rand argues that del.icio.us results are more timely, more focused on his demographic, higher quality, and more diverse. He concedes, however, that del.icio.us results do not always list the best first, sometimes lack relevance, and are either ten times better or ten times worse than Google depending on your view.

I don’t even know anymore… but yeah i totally agree with what the writter is saying on this site…
