==What It Is==
A way to get a consensus opinion about ''anything'', from the trivial to the earth-shattering.
==How It Works==
It's almost like a game. The rules are simple; the results are complex and useful.

The core concept is the Hierarchy of Things. On top of that is added a layer of Inter-User Connectivity.
===Hierarchy of Things===
* Every user creates and maintains a flat list of ''Things''.
** For practical purposes, this can be sorted and filtered in lots of different ways, as well as being searchable. The system should expect to handle lists with thousands or possibly millions of entries, though the majority of users may only have a dozen or two ''Things'' in their lists.
* Every user also creates and maintains a ''Hierarchy''. (Think of this as being like a directory listing on your hard drive: you have folders, and folders inside of folders, and so on.)
* Every twig in each user's ''Hierarchy'' can contain:
** Zero or more sub-twigs (all twigs have the same rules, regardless of how "deep" in the hierarchy they are)
** Zero or more ''Things''
* Each ''Thing'' has a name
* Each ''Thing'' can be rated on a scale (range set by the user, but let's say the default is -100 to +100) -- though it is possible to leave Things unrated
