I like the train of thought.
"Voting" on the internet definitely added a lot but it created a bunch of hurdles: majoritarian thought, bubbles and averaged opinions.
Review sites like rotten tomatoes are a good example of the last one. The average opinion about a movie is nowhere near as good as asking a single person who shares my tastes in movies. A bubble would be much more useful here. I'm not sure where I'm going with this.
I think letting ideas branch might let controversial discussions get objective. Complicated can be mistaken for subjective. It also sounds like the kind of fun that can draw people in.
I really like the idea.
- iambateman 13y agoI'm kind of waiting on Facebook to do this. Create a voting engine based on people similar to me for services like Rotten Tomatoes and Netflix. The "other people similar to you liked.." should be far more ubiquitous.
