Unless I'm mistaken, kuro5hin had a voting mechanism to determine what appeared on the front page. And delicious had it's "popular" page. Anyway my argument is:
a. "connections" are a scarce commodity, and probably the primary thing that a startup needs.
b. A market mechanism is replacing influencers. That's most likely a good thing.
and an additional remark - the first people who do this are obviously going to price high. The prices will get driven down by the same supply/demand mechanism that created the market in the first place.
