    Should definitely make things interesting. Though, I would think that it means that spammers will try to hit forums even harder now - because of the increased visibility they may get.

    I find it interesting that Google is giving more weight in the SERP's to forum posts. They must see it as a good form of information, even though mosts threads are worthless dribble. :D

    I like it for some things, but soon the will just display the friggin post in the results and there will never be a need to go to the website. No Traffic = No Business. this is what a lot of big media companies are complaining about, its content theft almost. Google have nothing without its website owners!
