What do you guys think is the SEO effect of the starred results? it has been here for quite some time now and I was checking out my SERPs whilst logged in my gmail account and I have noticed that those starred results keep showing.

Do you guys think it has any SEO value?

I would say minimal effect if anything. The +1 button however will have much more influence in my opinion coupled with the rate of sharing in Google+

I agree. I asked people about it over the weekend and we had a few experiments. Those starred sites will only show up in good positions if you are logged in and it is only on your SERP that it would actually have an effect. I'm not sure in a larger scale of people using stars for a website though.
