I hope it is not the future of search. There should be a better way, learning from users actions instead of querying them directly.
In fact I think Google already has these ways, with Google Toolbar, Google Analytics and Adwords tracking users behaviours among other things.
So I suspect, if this voting stuff comes, it would be more psychological than technical? Maybe people are happier with a site if they are allowed to "vent".
A bit like the escalator engineers who placed mirrors next to the escalators so that people would not notice the waiting time so much. It doesn't improve the technology, but makes people happier.
