It's definitely useful info instead of wasting time clicking on the link only to find out that it's an old thread. Didn’t notice that.

And as far as I have checked, Google is showing this only for forum posts. In Michael's example above, you can see that both the results he marked with red arrows are from a forum post. Do any other forum related search (like 'sarah palin environment forum') to confirm. Also, I am getting this whether I sign in to Google or not. So it maybe that this will be integrated into all researches. Means we won't have to go to the result to find out when the post was active and how many posts there are in that thread. Maybe, Google would also take into account the number of users who posted and the number of posts in that thread as ranking factor (like more posts and more authors can mean a hot,popular thread but not sure, just a wild shot). Anyone observed anything like this? It’s a very useful addition actually. And as far as I have checked, Google is showing this only for forum posts.

I have 1 Igoogle account that has Digg like icons, as I got selected for a bucket test, wonder if this is a wide release?

The date information could b especially relevant. +1 for click/no-click value. I actually like this info for forum results.
