Gavin has been doing some interesting work on this, and is considering using "Endorsements" as a vetting process for products before they're allowed on his federated marketplace.
In the case of product reviewers, I might legitimately endorse several hundred products. The same goes for institutional endorsements, such as my college professor endorsing me as one of his students, or my collect endorsing me as a graduate.
