I couldn't find a way to add a new item to any existing list. How does this leverage the community if only the list creator can edit their list? This just causes people to create their own lists to compete with the existing lists.

I think you're missing something pretty key here, Pete. Voting requires me to log in to my Amazon account.
If I went through the top 20 or so lists Amazon would then know my favorite beer, movie, tv comedy, album, tv drama and programming language (to name only a few). That's some nice data for them and immediately useful for targeting me with products they can be pretty sure I'll want.

Anson,
So maybe a way to improve their recommendation engine? Could be.

Nothing to see here, just the html-code. A mistake like this shouldn't happen

lawrence, your rate-it-all site at the very least is visually unappealing and not immediately accesible in terms of what to do. UnSpun, in contrast is immediately usable in that you can rate something in five seconds, er, after you logged in that is. WHich is the huge advantage Amazon has... identity has already been established, versus you I have to sign up for. I hate new sign ups, just to give you some ratings.

I enjoyed the "best songs ever" list. But it seems strange to me that more than half of top positions belongs to Beatles! I agree that Beatles is a legend, but Led Zeppelin worths top too. Being kinky I also visited sex toys list- very intriguing ;)
