Great. Another site where users might be able to influence the results, and large amounts of users could change the results to suit their preferences. Look at Digg, where hordes of people can vote down stories they don't like. It could be the tyranny of the majority, with the consensus views of the activists willing to participate imposed on everyone.

I love the "some pages are more equal than others" form Google as well.

CR

Tyranny of the majority? You mean like how the majority of people have voted to ban gay marriage? Or the majority of people think we should be a democratic republic? Or the majority of people apparently thought Barack Obama was a more suitable candidate for president than John McCain? Isn't "tyranny of the majority" exactly how democracy functions?
