I probably shouldn't say this, but that could actually be very useful.  :) 
 A service that made it possible to easily vote up (or down?) any given 
thing, and ideally be able to see the votes of various subsets of people 
(one's friends / followees / contacts / oh wait I know, one's "dittos"; 
people who have voted up lots of things that you have also voted up; 
dittos of one's dittos; etc; etc), and see, like, the top-voted whatevers 
in the last six hours, and get the corresponding RSS/ATOM feeds, and other 
obvious features, really could be the Next Hot Thing.

I'm really glad I didn't think of this, 'cause if I had I would have been 
tempted to file a patent application.  :)  I'm sure there have been 
vaguely-similar things done, but they probably weren't sufficiently Web 
3.0 / cute /  misspelled to go viral.

P.S. Have we all seen Omegle?  :)
