I like that idea, but i think there can be too much granularity. The feeling of 'People who agree with me on X also agree with me on completely unrelated Y' is awesome.

'People who agree with me on X also agree with me on completely unrelated Y'

I smell a recommender system. Think of what sites like amazon.com do with "people who like X also liked Y".

This is just an observation. I'm not saying that we should go out and build a system to match these people and these Xs and Ys.
