kinda hard to ignore.
its simple at its core. thats usually a good thing.
i have something partially in place.
also, matt, no worry. months before you came around, the anti-ratings mentality was even stronger. it was a simpler time ;-) but now most realize that filtering is really the big big issue these days... whether or not it offends a purists point of view.

Funny you mention it. I brought this up a few months ago in a video
conference and got slammed for trying to create a "ratings system and
popularity contest".
I strongly believe in what Digg has created and do not see it as a
rating system. You can only digg something, which is a good thing. A
submission gets +1 for each person who diggs it and there is no way to
give negative feedback other than commenting, which already exists
here and within blog software.
After hearing the horrible response to the idea, I abandoned it due to
a lack of support (and the complexity of the system). It was probably
for the better since my time is very limited.
My buddy is about to launch NewsVine.com which is a lot like Digg.com
and he go VC money for it. Matter of fact, Digg is now rivaling
Slashdot within the tech community.
Who knows, maybe I'll muster up some energy and look into this again.
Maybe come spring after the snow melts.
