will such systems be enough – early enough – to save traditional newspaper journalism?

Thanks for your comments!
Wedge: Content’s value should become evident – but there are things you can do if you think it’s been overlooked… Twitter really is the most important single platform for this now.
Keith: I certainly don’t believe in closed systems for content rating – these will be primarily unbounded, though there might be a role for the ‘guilds’ you mention – interesting concept.
Randall: I very much look forward to reading your book! Yes there are no easy answers here, but you, I, and many others will be working hard at it in years to come – the degree of value from these justifies whatever it takes to get there.

Though I agree that reputation systems are often the missing component in content evaluation, it is not at all clear how to implement a generally applicable solution. In our upcoming O'Reilly/Yahoo! Press Book: Building Web Reputation Systems, Bryce Glass and I point out that all reputation takes place in a context. There is no global, all content, context. There is a lot of work ahead.

I really hope it doesn’t come down to having to join credibility guilds just to prove ones content worth. very elitist – and once again brings up the question of who’s accrediting the “credible”?

What does this mean for my hand crafted blogsite?
Do I have to be a part of Technorati and Digg to get a reputation? These two sites offer no benefit to me and my niche market, so must I rely on real people within my Twitter and LinkedIn networks to promote and trust my content?
