I added some links with rev=“vote-for” and “vote-against”, then used Javascript to check the page for the votelinks and add tooltips to the tags. Right now I’m popping up little +1 and -1 icons, but I got into a discussion with the usability guy here about visual affordances in the links and I’m not sure if there’s a need to make the votelinks explicit on the linking side.
Hopefully, something like trackback can be used to propogate these votes to the sites that are linked to, and in the comments/trackbacks lists the site could have an Agreed/Disagreed list. Just thinking…
