Google, Yahoo!, MSN, & ASK believe that links found in the social communities to be more trustworthy. Why? I don’t know if it’s really important to know why… Actually, I do understand the why. The theory goes something like this. If you have a link from the wikipedia it’s generally assumed to be a trustworthy vote for your site. If it wasn’t, the “community" would have edited it out. Social Search appears to be (at least for now) the search engines answer to finding a way to add human intervention to the algorithm.
