Yes, JavaBlogs' popularity sytesm is pretty lame.But I'm not sure these popularity sytesms ever work. Digg puts the button next to the headline and you get all the catchy headlines dugg without anyone RTFA.I think it's worth trying to put that prominently into the blog entry itself somewhere below the headline but above the bottom. Maybe at the end of the abstract (for those that bail and want to rate it useless) and at the end (for those that were riveted).I still think this is susceptible to the noisy minority who are inevitbly going to go for the mindless bashing of something over a good review or fair critique. But you can't win them all
