Interesting perspective of ratings. I always wondered if the UI interactions are tangible enough for rating an item as web is often a whimsical activity. This somehow justifies it well .

One of the things that I believe leads to fewer people rating things is the amount of mental work involved in giving a rating other than 1/5 star. This is where the like/dislike, up/down systems fare much better.
