I wouldn't suggest you Oink your girlfriend, or Stamp your pet... they deserve better. :) Also, the ho-hum is not a Cheer. Finally, some people oink (wanna be critics / raters), but all people love. Cheers lowers the barrier to expressing love and appreciation publicly, and for those who do, it's a very different feeling / feedback loop than having simply rated something. That said, Oink / Stamped are very good for ranking / rating things and as such both should give Yelp a run for it's money.
