I've noticed on quite a few searchs that google is showing stumbleupon reviews in the search results with little stars. To me this raises a few questions:

Is stumble that big a deal? - I use it now and again and it does usually provide a good quality site, even if it's random.

Is google going to adopt the thumbs up/down website voting system in some form? - I think that a thumbs up/down system might be good at weeding out spam to some degree.

Is Google going to buy out stumble?

Will google be showing diggs in the results next?

You never know what Goorgle will do next.
I won't be surprised if they buy Russia tomorrow

When you install the toolbar, it parses the search rankings and overlays their own ranking for pages that show up. Google isn't really involved...

If you notice a page with all the Stumble stuff in the serps, you'll see exactly the same rating if you find that page in other searches. The Stumble rating is the overall quality of the page, regardless of how well it fits your particular search. Now if you do the same query on a browser w/o the toolbar, you won't see the Stumble ratings in Google.

Its a option u gets while installing toolbar ... u must have enabled that option .. thats why ur able to see that !!

Ah, Thanks guys, I never thought it about it coming from the toolbar.
