More emphasis on "you" as singular in Omer's description -- maybe  
"thou" would fit better :)

The idea is a web of trust, I trust you, and you trust Jim, so I have  
trusted trust ofJim. We don't ever need to start trusting the zombies  
in the first place, and if we do trust them and they fail us, we can  
revoke that as well.

You could also have various trust levels for certain people in  
certain fields, perhaps. However, this would be a good infrastructure  
for a distributed index, rather than a distributed search engine.
