I think the same, tag/keyboard/labels should work well

One thought is something like the ubuntu store (or vim user feedback) where a 
grade can be assigned by user. I often found myself trying to find 'good

may think of using keywords (labels etc)... a wild idea would be something like 
delicious.com, where keywords are contributed socially ...
