My Currency - innovative crowd-sourced home valuations

Well, Their Currency, technically, since this is an American site... but the concept's still interesting. You post a home and its asking price, then users are invited to comment with what they consider a more realistic suggested value and a figure - between one and ten - relating to how strongly they think they're right. I know what you're thinking... people will take the piss. Well, they figured that, too, and have implemented a system that weights contributions depending on the past performance of the contributer. Interesting. So why would anybody bother? The theory is that estate agents might use it as a way of creating dialogue and generating real leads. Find it here
