Scoofers : Combining Google Search with Social Bookmarking

Scoofers Search Engine
It is not a new thing that if you had landed on a not relevant site when you search for a topic on the most popular search engines. Though its all good for normal searches but when you are very specific about things like when you travel or go for a vacation, you just need the right results.
Moreover stuff like vacation are somethign which if recomended by some one or his experience gives you a better choice to decide on. In short we need Normal Search + Recomneded article voted by people. This is what exactly Scoofers are doing.
Their search engine combines Google Search result + Social Boomamrking sites like Digg, Delicious and Stumble ( I think they forgot twitter ).
The only drawback I find in their algo is they should have made search result display a better place. Since you are taking account social book marking why not tell people who search how much score they have in social bookmarking. Again if they dont take votes into account and its all text based then get ready to have lot of spam in your index. Social Bookmarking are major place people try to spam I hop the team is liteining.
