 TOOL: The Open Opinion Layer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Ideally, TOOL would be implemented on a combination of small and large servers, with many users locally storing their opinions as well as mirrors of opinions of their friends and acquaintances.
If many TOOL users wish to maintain control over their opinions or set up rating domains on the fly, and the incentive for large organizations to subsidize trustworthy TOOL servers is low enough, a robust peer-to-peer architecture will be a natural choice for the underlying protocol.
Another relevant dimension is whether TOOL will be built, supported, and paid for primarily by opinion generators or opinion consumers; the former group of "influencers" would have some motivation to skew the overall opinion pool, while the latter group of "truth-seekers" would like an unbiased and open opinion pool with good search and analysis algorithms.
