Google certainly does have an interest in streamlining acess to ad-integrated content.

@Valeria,

Google Reader already will integrate your social bookmarking friends profiles, just add their RSS feed from their submissions page to Google Reader.

This is how I currently follow all my social friend’s profiles. This is also how most top social bookmarking users do it as well.

What we are waiting for is Google Friend Connect to roll out since it is the glue that will hold the rest together. Until that happens we are just using the pieces, not the whole pie.

I’m sure Google has enough funds in their pocket to make a sweep here. StumbleUpon & Google Reader integration sounds great to me and as of late Google is showing a lot of interest in new investments, this could be a really good one.

Rob, I do hear what you say and I know that Digg is definitely rapidly losing value by making it less and less dependent on the wisdom of crowd. But from my experience StumbleUpon can be manipulated similarly to Digg (and I know many bloggers who engage in such manipulations) so of course to actually rely on any of the resources for human-powered search Google will need to fix the algorithms to reach some totally “ungamable” state which I doubt is possible. But anyway sometimes both offer certain value so this value integrated into search experience could be more valuable than it is when independent.
