They really needed a database of searches already. I like how they are trying to do something original here, but this just isn’t going to fly long term.

It's the next logical step, so it's got that it's-about-damn-time thing about it. When stuff is voted on, it inherits trust, and trust as a currency is incredibly difficult to beat...

And one that you have to vote on to get somewhere? Too much potential to gaming the system just like digg. Interesting concept, though. I don’t know — another search engine?

That would be far more exciting, and much more meaningful than what they're currently hoping to achieve. And, it would be much more difficult to game if that was the case...
