Yup, thats about the idea! Here's the hacky bit -
1) treat the things that people up/down-mod as their own feed.
2) links accumulate merit based on the user's weighting of the feeds
that carry that link.
3) the merit of each feed is adjusted as people up/down-mode a link.
...
profit ;)

Combines the lifestreams of twitter with the popularity fest that is
digg.

I registered http://feedcake.com last week (mostly because I thought
it was a cool domain, rather than planning to build something on it).
Then again the new google app engine will give you half a million page
loads per month of nothing (if you write in python) ...
