Its a marketing thing. I didn't write that part, but the site is a wiki-type setup where people vote for content so I guess its a more organic/"living" way of doing things. It is pretty meaningless. ;) We will see how it turns out, we may need to put harsher controls on it if low-quality content starts getting through.
