That since the web-savvy online shopper realizes the ease and convenience of online shopping, that they would also realize the ease of researching a product online before purchasing, and do so thoroughly.
An interesting theory, but if Google is pigeonholing me as a Biologist because I'm usually searching in a scientific context, what happens when I just want to find somewhere to buy some tasty fish? Now my search results are utterly irrelevant!

To see Google's TrustRank Trademark info on the USPTO site, click here , click "New User Form Search (Basic)", and search for "TrustRank".
This is a step in the right direction conceptually, but giving a smaller number of "seed sites" more rank influence increases the potential fallout from any rank cheats that may be found in the future (see Google Bomb and Google 302 exploit.
Google may be better off as they are currently leaving all sites initally equal in influence before the Pagerank calculation.
Then again, Google has a great track record for testing their ideas before committing them to general service...
... you know IBM is going to have ten more lawsuits on their hands as various software copyright holders magically find bits of "their code" in the OS/2 source.
An interesting point of view, but doesn't the current situation suggest that even with existing legislation to allow limited fair use of consumer goods, the unwashed masses will still choose the option which is more convenient and harmfully anti-competitive rather than the option which allows the consumer more personal freedom? Government intervention is one of the only blocks between the huge music/movie/whatever organizations and the obliteration of these same "innovative, independent artists" you so readily espouse, and the removal of said intervention would leave them effectively helpless to carve out any niche market at all.
The public can influence the decisions made in their Government; the public has no influence in corporations.
Yet another example of why critical computer systems should be stripped down to the barebones tried-and-true software and isolated from any potential source of interference. This goes doubly for a system like this on which the local infrastructure depends!
