Google SearchWiki - a very public beta ?

Yes I know, everything 'The Goog' does has beta plastered on it somewhere, but what I mean in this case is that releasing to the public (or those that have Google accounts) first appears to be a very large public beta for a feature that would bring considerable value to their enterprise search offerings. You can read about SearchWiki and watch a little demo video here:

I am sure other search vendors probably offer similar features (if not, why not ?) but this looks like it would be really useful in the GSA context. I will wait to see what Steven Arnold has to say about it as he usually provides a sound analysis of all of the Google monsters moves....
