>They're ordered by the magic, not by the correctness or usefulness

I agree 100% on this: a well-curated set of search engine results or directories (like how Yahoo! started back in the day) would be immensely useful today

Getting to the well-curated list, though, does bring its own Catch-22: who determines what's "good" initially? How do you collect enough "qualified" editors/submitters to get it rolling? How do you keep from falling into the broken world of social voting[0]?
