I like how instead of it just being controlled by one giant whale, it's a scheme to allow users to follow the votes of others. I imagine that eventually it will be a feature integrated into the platform and work as a smart contract, obviating the security problems.

I totally agree. That kind of gets at the point in my article too. If this was integrated into the main site, I would totally use it!
@xeroc is the number one Steem app developer, IMHO. I'm pretty sure they already have some idea to put it in as a feature down the track. I'm quite sure they will soon. Not sure if it was your article, or another (I'm reading without full context) but they have a concept for Steem Curator Guilds coming up, where you 'lend' your SP to other users to curate with. Obviously that will be a reward for you as well.
It'll probably be called SteemTrain too, cos when you get a vote from a Streemian curator, next thing you know, 20 more votes come in. I just had it happen to me today even!
Replying here due to the nesting level.
Right on; and that's awesome. Either the integration of Streemian or the voting guilds would be a great enhancement!
My article was more on the broader topic of Steem app development though. Even though @xeroc may be able to and is likely to do this, the general trend has been for developers to build separate apps that stand alone from the main Steemit site.
If most of the apps are their own stand alone applications, then the security concerns brought up in my article will continue to be a concern.
