Yahoo Allows for Personal Spam Filtering

"I just noticed that Yahoo is allowing users to block search results. You click the “block” link and this prevents the result from showing up in future searches. I can see Yahoo using this data to implement Bayesian filtering for personalized web searches. As people continue to block and save sites in My Web, the filter gradually will define what people see as spam or relevant." Source: SearchEngineJournal.com
