any writeups on the efficacy of this system?

Hi,
I think that perhaps there's a way to increase the number of
del.icio.us users and reduce spam at the same time.
The idea is to use an invitation or endorsement system with
consequences.
Given a competitive environment for del.icio.us users (e.g.,
CollaborativeRank), we could allow users to further increase their
scores/influence by inviting/endorsing people who they believe will
contribute in a positive way.
If those invited/endorsed people do in fact contribute in a positive
way (as measured by the competitive environment), then those who
invited them are rewarded with greater score/influence.
If those invited/endorsed people contribute in a negative way, then
those who invited them are penalized. At this point, the "inviters"
can cut their losses by flagging these people as unhelpful.
Note that I am not necessarily suggesting an invitation only scheme.
You could endorse existing del.icio.us users for example if you
believe they will raise your score/influence.
It would be interesting to see how people might try to game this
system. Would creating multiple accounts help for example?
