My team just launched Syndicated Ratings (officially, anyway - it's really been out for weeks if you knew where to find it). Check out the blog post by Mike Quoc. It's a very cool concept that we kicked off a long time back, and finally manifested itself.
Basically it takes the power of a platform that Yahoo! has been using internally, and makes it available for any site. Good for the site because they can show off their rating, or encourage users to rate. Good for Yahoo! because it generates a lot more ratings data.
Right now it's limited to the Yahoo! Podcasts site, but it's very extensible.
Anyway, I'm stoked! In some ways I'm as excited about this one little feature as I was about the whole Podcasts product, simply because it illustrates and illuminates a big concept that should hopefully take off.
