What is Google Co-op?

http://www.google.com/coop

What is this service? From the looks of it, you basically create a page and get subscribers...But what are the subscribers for and what is the point of using it?

 

I think it is a sort of "ask an expert" thing. You join up, say you are an expert on combustion engines or something and respond when people ask questions relating to your expertise.

 

How would I ask this SEO Newbie a question:

It lists the results of your subscribed coop expert(or lists your expert results to others) on a given topic in the search results first. People actually have to suggest what their favourites are though for this to work. Try this link for an example

Google coop is free advertising on a site. where everyone should participate in this advertising campaign. It's like shawn's coop.
