Google is adding +1 to search results..

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/1s-right-recommendations-right-when-you.html

To me this sounds like it will be really easy to manipulate. People that are actually surfing aren't going to take the time to rate a search result. Who will be able to rate it are people that are paid to do it....
