I think the endorsement blasting is actually worse than Facebook's over liking, because of how that data is presented and what it is intended to represent. 200 some dishonest endorsements make even the legitimate endorsements among them value-less. A stray like (or a dozen) doesn't project the same type of dishonesty.

They should treat endorsements like mini-recommendations and make individuals list out why they're endorsing an individual regarding the said trait. Not only would this validate the endorsements, but bring out the true value that I believe was their intention.
