I never really understood the point of double-blindness – wouldn’t the market forces work better if the whole process was open?

As for a next step, how about collecting SSRN credits for your uploaded papers and comments (perhaps based on other people’s ratings)? The credits could then be used to purchase submission rights to journals, elevate your own stuff on SSRN and other academic database search engines (for example, to show your articles in bold/italics to make them stand out and thereby attract more readers/potential citers), and by placement on official “recommended key note speakers lists.”

There’s an ocean of opportunity, all we need is an entrepreneur to start ladling. ;-)
