This reminds me of an aggregation site idea I had a couple of years ago: something similar to HN or Reddit, but with blocks up for all the most popular sites. That way trend voting wouldn't be such a problem. Once a site or an author got popular enough, they "graduated" and would no longer be available. I still think there is a lot of merit to this idea. Too many things are decided simply on the momentum of popularity instead of actual value to the consumer.
