Change.gov: Obama's Digg-like site for political issues

You've got to give Obama credit for truly embracing the power of the internet. The Citizen's Briefing Book on Change.gov lets anyone submit an idea for improving the government, and then a Digg-like voting system filters floats the most popular ideas to the top.

Of course it's open for abuse. I wonder how well this new site can withstand the attacks that a site like Digg has already seen and now defends against? I also note that you don't need a SSN or any sort of proof of citizenship to create an account. So people all over the world can (and will) create ideas and vote on them.

Still, it's a good first step in more direct contact with citizens on important issues. If you end up over there, I'd appreciate a vote up on my idea: Make the health care problem our politicians' problem.
