I've definately clocked the reputational exchange aspect of it.

I've seen several Kickstarters recommend other people's Kickstarter and I backed quite a lot of Dungeons and Dragons Zines this spring and I'd seen a few blog posts (from bloggers I follow) recommending a slate of them.

I've also seen a number of blogs about people with bad reputations warning people to steer clear.

I think you're right, that web of trust is pretty active if you're paying attention and looking for it and it does do a lot to close the knowledge gap.
