Interesting and very insightful points you make in your blog entry. However, I think there is one invalid assumption your social voting is based on - the fact that the first and last user will vote.
In the point in time at which they vote, the first and last user experience a hope for a future incentive - but no actual incentive. Why should the first user vote on a comment about some piece of content?
This dilemma makes this system the same as the current, pre-dominant social voting system - it provides no initial incentive for someone to create activity, only the hope for a future incentive.
