A Flexible Way for Google Users to Mark, Rediscover Web Content

Google says it has introduced a new feature in search that makes it easier for users to mark and rediscover their favorite web content — stars.

The stars, which will be situated to the right-hand side of every search result for users who are signed into Google with their Google Account, allows users to click it once after which Google will save the starred item and will show it at the top of users’ search results next time they search for the same topic.

Any starred items will also be synchronized with Google Bookmarks and the Google Toolbar, providing a central location for users to manage their stars.

This way one can always see the list of starred items in one place and easily organize them. Even beyond the results page, while browsing the web users can quickly click the star icon in Toolbar to create a bookmark, and those pages will start showing up in the new stars feature.
