Google today started rolling out a new feature that allows users to block any site they choose from appearing in their search results. The feature aims to further personalize the search experience by letting users eliminate sites they find offensive or useless. Google said it won’t be factoring that data into its search rankings–for now, at least.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
