I don't know, I see this as potentially cool, but really very spammy. Think about how trivial something like this is to manipulate, and if we're talking about the value of consumer electronics going into the hands of our nations youth; well that doesn't inspire me with confidence. If there's potential to gain, there will be potential for exploitation (see Cory Doctorow's excellent piece 'All Complex Ecosystems have Parasites'[0]) I don't think you can monetize uneducated commentary. This would be a lot more interesting, to me, if the conversations were between experts and the points were upvoted by the community. I see value in moderated debates with scoring provided by the community. I don't see value in anyone spouting their opinion and having upvotes on each side. It's like reddit but with consumer sentiment at stake. [0]http://craphound.com/complexecosystems.txt http://craphound.com/complexecosystems.txt
