Google community for exchanging 1s and re shares. Thoughts?

So I watched Jay's video yesterday on how to use Google +, and I found his experiment on ranking posts interesting. If you haven't seen it, what he did was that he asked people in one of his circles to plus the post, and after a month it got onto the first page.
What I'm thinking is to create a google + community around this same concept. The thing with Google + is that the majority of your posts are going to be un plussed because it just seems dead to me over there in many of the communities. In the community the rules would be simple. You take 10-15 minutes of your day plussing other peoples posts so that they rank. You can just even skim them if you want, because I do know how much time it takes to read someones post and comment on it. There are only so many hours in a day. You wouldn't have to read the whole thing. You can see who's plus one your post, then go to their profile and plus one their new post. Therefore, your post is gauranteed plus ones and higher rankings.
It would be similar to the WA community where you share posts on comments, only this would be a Google + community who just want to help each other's posts get ranked by plus 1ing or re sharing. You would obviously have to take outside time to find people interested in your niche if you're using google + to promote your services or products, but the point of this community is to help each other post's rank. The ideal would be to get at least +10s per post. The more +1s, the higher the ranking! It's completely for free (obviously), and all you need is a 10-15 per day time investment to your social schedule.
I hope this idea doesn't offend anyone (if for some reason it does.) But I don't see why it would, because I think it could genuinely help out. Let me know if this is something that interests anyone, or if anyone else would be interesting in starting a community like this. I would certainly be a part of it!
