"solve with letting users tag apps"

That just leads to Shady Developers Ltd. hiring Shady Astroturfers, Inc. to spam tags on his competitors.




this is a solveable problem. i've done it, in fact.


In a situation where the stakes were basically limited to reputation and informational content perhaps, but not with serious money on the line. When tag-turfing can swing thousands of dollars an hour I have less hope that the host can outwit all of the possible parasite variations.


The perception was that the data was being fed into search engines. So I think the stakes were similarly high.
