Social search engine Wink will launch version 2.0 of its service early next week with changes designed to make make search more social than ever.
Wink is a search engine that indexes tagged content from Digg, Yahoo MyWeb, Furl, Slashdot, other social bookmarking services and it’s own users’ archives.
Users can create collections, or lists of items related to a given topic, a list of pages related to buying a video projector or a list of pages related to the band Weezer. Lists can be subscribed to by other users.
The current version of Wink just ranks sites by the number of Wink users who have tagged them. Wink 2.0 users will also be able to move search results up and down by vote, including results from Google.
There will be a FireFox toolbar available for Wink next week as well, so you can perform all the site’s functions from any page.
