Most people already look at ratings for a product, and it's seller, before buying it. I imagine it as Google-Shopping, Ratemyprofessor.com, and Craigs List all mashed in together.

If I want my friends' opinion on something, I can ask them for that via Facebook or Twitter. If I want an objective/expert opinion I will ask Google to find it for me. I do see Facebook as being a hugely valuable too for helping people get and stay connected within a church. I think churches ought to find better ways to integrate their sites with Facebook to help people connect with each other in a similar way to how many churches currently use their websites to help people connect with each other in small groups.
