managing content (control?)

Very interesting development - like so many websites, facebook is now allowing users to rank application (software/widgets etc) and their developers. It's designed to build an element of the trust into the system and takes the pressure (and negative aspects) off centralised control. Similar systems include eBay (see Colin Rule's book on this) or Amazon seller ratings.

Are people in favour of this or does it just allow a small group to dominate apps development?
