@Brandon imho great things could be done by re-starting FOAF in some form, and having the browser evaluate links / pages with a foaf-derived score in mind. “If 10 people I trust trust this page, I can probably trust it, too”

@j12t Ooo.. that is probably the best idea I've heard yet. That could really help separate the wheat from the chaff.

@Brandon Now we "just" need to do a minor amount of programming and get it supported everywhere

@Brandon ... but more seriously, I think the social graph of the Fediverse and media shared here are probably a good place from where to build this.
