I always feel a bit guilty clicking the 'sort by number of citatations' button when I start researching something, using the system I tend to critisise. If it was a bit more sofisticated i would probably feel better about it. Ideally, there would be an indipendent party, classifying all citations, but there are better things funding could be used for than a citation commitee. An online social network could do it, but I don't know how well that would go down with the scientific community... it’a good idea, can’t imagine where to start to get it implemented.

This is not just venting but serious. The next question is, if the mark-up can be left to the author. Probably not without running in the same possible misuse and misinterpretation of citations.
