I just had that funny feeling when I saw it and wanted to answer Nicks question about my thoughts on "different context". It's not disturbing me at all :-) I am totally fine with a voting system.

Quite simple really if you think in terms of "is this note worthy enough to go on the homepage". If you think it is worthy of the additional exposure a front page would give it, vote, if not don’t.

Most times we don't even have all the information. For instance I can vote for a company hiring blogs after I have worked for them. Maybe the offer seems good but the guys are a bastards and don't stick to their word. An article is an article. You like it or not. It's easy to vote for it.

A freelancer is offering different services. What to vote for? I can offer one article for syndication. That's a very specific product and it's pretty easy to vote for that product (or not). Somebody needs a job to feed his family. My sympathy will always be with such search. I will always vote for him. How to compare the votes? Re: different context

How to compare the votes?

The voting is for members to vote which exchange nodes they think are good -- ie job offers, jobs wanted, etc etc -- those that reach a certain threshold get promoted to the homepage. We dont want the homepage to be full of these things, so we put only the best/most interesting up -- voted by you.... If it works out, we could make it prettier, and put it on all nodes, including blogs and forum posts.. What different context?

To me it is a little 'fuzzy' regarding the meaning in the different contexts. What is the voting supposed to be for? To me it is a little ‘fuzzy’ regarding the meaning in the different contexts.

Maybe (not that I think I would win or anything) but you could offer up a Bio contest, best Bio (to be voted on by other users) wins 100 points or something.

Or maybe an alternative would be ‘Featured Bio of the week’ to be setup somewhere in the lower right sidebar, so that we can all become more familiar with each other.
