Re💩tation (repootation) is a react component for fast and efficient rating ❤️👍👎💩, that can be embedded anywhere on the Internet and allows to capture reactions and ratings for content in a decentralized and verifiable way. Think of it as a decentralized facebook-like-button, or github stars, or stackoverflow upvotes... Endless possibilities!
Social media is critical in forming movements (think of arab spring) now you have a way to express support in a censorship resitsant and pseudonymous way.

Perhaps the TAO could help solving some of the many governing related issues, alongside the incentivisation of a self-sustainability entity that is not skewed by based governance but rather repetitional participation via proactiveness. A constant revenue stream originating from a cDAI pool allows the entity to become financially self-sufficient and an investment opportunity for outsiders that doesn't dictate any governing power.
