Quite interesting:

Now just got to figure how to implement this in Wordpress - just been trying a few attempts to populate this automatically with tags and categories outside the loop, but not succeeded so far.

I'm pretty sure there will be a plugin for it soon

Cool

It would have to be just adding tags to the page? Easy?

Yea, but I wonder who will actually read this part though...

QuoteYou can add up to ten phrases for a given article, and all keywords are given equal value. For instance, the first keyword is not considered a stronger signal than the tenth keyword.

And it is only for sites that have been accepted into Google's New aggregation system so completely useless in the real www
