Ranked list generator

I was thinking of this idea in the context of online communities that discuss music, books, movies, or restaurants. Toward the end of the year, members of these communities like to make "best of" lists and usually you end up with a lot of different lists and no real accumulation that represents the community's overall "best of" list unless someone takes on the task of tallying up the votes.

There should be a website that takes care of the dirty work. One person from an online community would create an account or group for his or her community, then the members of that community would go to the website to submit their lists.

Since there would not be someone to correct spelling mistakes on the lists (like if someone wrote Kayne West instead of Kanye West), perhaps users could make their lists by searching Amazon, iTunes, or IMDb and selecting the correct album, book, song, or movie.

You could also get a lot of interesting data from the lists that you might not get otherwise unless the person in charge is good with statistics or is an Excel wizard. And these lists don't have to be limited to favorite entertainment things. Maybe you want to compile a list of everyone's favorite words or something.
