There are some things about it that I can see helping the majority of searchers and some I think will actually make searching for new things harder to do. From the seo side it doesn't bother me at all. It seems like it will only help push the idea of building quality sites as the way to succeed. My big issue with it is if it's used too much we may all start to see an ever shrinking corner of the web as we get inundated with sites we visit more often. I search to find new sites not the ones I'm already familiar with and know how to navigate. At the moment Google is only using personalized results 1 in 5 searches I think and at most 2 personalized results will replace others in the top 10 results and never the #1 result. That's fine with me. One thing I feel certain about is that personalization in search is here to stay. Google is betting on it and I'm guessing the other engines will follow before too long if they haven't already started. I’m still riding the fence on personalized search too.
