I knew THM but never got used to using it. It just doesn't stick on me… :)

The point that I see interesting from THM using external data to model their own is that you have lots of data online from different parties that you can reuse as you see fit. I'm no saying that this is the best way to create a ranking (I agree with you that they might not have much value, but the thing is that people likes them and they are a good way to browse through areas you do not know).

Each one can interpret data as a way to improve their services, I think many things can be done in this area…

As the music and Internet enthusiast you are I couldn't believe you didn't know TheHypeMachine yet when I read you on Twitter! It's a fantastic idea which exposes the great potential of mash-ups.

And, as we can see in the subject of the post, not only content is being 'mashed-up' but also metainformation about the author, reputation in this case.

There are bunches of data spread all over the web, the cool thing is to interpret all that and turn it into relevant data.

By the way, glad to see you writing in English (I am not alone!), this change opens the possibility of many English-speaking readers who won't comment otherwise; Spaniards will still do, tough some will have to do a little effort ;)

You know, I'm not so sure you can de-contextualize reputation that way. You can have a reputation of providing good content, but that does not mean I like classical music or 80's trash like you. Besides, all rankings are a self-fulfilling prophecy. You like something depending on your perception of the others liking it or not. Which means that perceiving something as “good” or not is independent of who has recommended it, but does depend on how many people in your social network has recommended it.
