I guess if the button worked as an upvote/ submit like a digg one it could be useful.

So the first person clicks it and submits it, and then the following clickers think they're submitting it but are really voting it up. I think it'd be cooler if looked more like the Digg button (which shows the number of diggs), but you'd have to scrape for the current number of upvotes.
