what is Google Moderator ?
can any one tell me what is google Moderator ? and What does Google Moderator do?

The simple idea behind Moderator is to offer a public forum in which users can submit questions that they believe should be asked during a specific meeting or event. Other users can then vote on whether they like each question and agree on which should be asked, thereby using the power of crowdsourcing to decide what the most important issues are for the audience.

Right now, Moderator is a fairly one-dimensional product. Any user can sign up to create a "Series," tied to an event or venue for which he or she would like to solicit questions. Multiple users can be invited to be the "owner" of a series and moderate the questions that are submitted; users who don't have or want Google accounts can submit questions anonymously if a Series owner allows it. Users then vote on questions, bringing a Digg-style social voting aspect as the questions with the best votes float to the top of the page.

To me, this seems like a more interactive version of Yahoo Suggestions, which is actually a closed tool to just Yahoo feedback. Matt Cutts said Google may be using this tool for future Webmaster Chat sessions. It will allow people to submit questions and then have those involved in the session vote up user submitted questions.
