I haven't heard or read anything about it, but I just performed a google search and I was shocked to see three new little icons next to each search result.
One of them says "promote" which I guess adds to its credibility, another says "remove" which I guess flags a page as being no good, and the third says "comment" and when clicked pops open a text entry box for you to add a comment.
Anyone know anything about this business?
Whoa...

because the big problem i have with voting in general is the feedback loop. at least if it was my personal feedback loop it wouldn't have lolcats in it, and it would be possible to implement without changing the rest of the site, right?

Maybe some day we can conceive of some kind of algorithm that could accomplish something like that efficiently.
then the ability to sort videos by "personal preference" would be possible, pushing similar videos to the top of your personal page.
i am not sure of the server load implications though.
