Thumbs are a way for other users to reccomend a thread. A Thumb from someone generally indicates that they enjoyed your contribution and think others should read it.
Geeklists with higher thumb counts remain "visible" on the front page for longer periods, at least if people browse geeklists by 'Hot" rather than "active" or "recent". The amount of thumbs you collect from all your contributions is also tallied on your profile. Although it's not actually good for anything, it does give a general idea of how popular or prolific your contributions are.
