You use a simple syntaxt to trust someone else for a particular #topic.  This information is captured in a trustmap which is accessible via an API.

The site is a bit slow, and some UI specifics are being worked out.  But you can start trusting people via twitter right now. Here's how: http://www.trustmap.org/docs/twitter

example tweet by me: @trustmap trust @natdefreitas for #android

Pretty exciting stuff for helping with the authority problem in votereporting. Who do you trust for #iranelection?
