Social networking is part of the current evolution of the internet, it's only right for a site like this to evolve and change with time.
I think the queue is a great method for getting more content to the blog, in the past i have submitted a few things, but it wasn't something i took the time out to do often because there was no immediate reaction to what was sent. i've quite enjoyed being able to share things i find neat too, i've used reddit in the past, and found most things i submit get overlooked easily, but here the smaller community, and more focussed audience coupled with editors that have the final say have meant i've been able to share interesting things which get seen.
I think also the editors are checking most posts themselves before posting, making edits and whatnot so even if something gets all the votes in the world, if it's not really neat and fitting with the site it won't go on.
honestly i think it's a good feature, in its early stages, over time it'll improve and settle in and could become a great part of the site.
can an admin choose a better photograph please. the choice of four regularly limits your opportunity to use a good one. this one may be appropriate. http://www.jumbohostel.com/graphics/19290.jpg
i think the monitoring of the queue system needs to be a bit more up to date, this is something which is going to be featured all over the web, if it goes to the front page, it needs to be sooner rather than later or neatorama might end up looking behind the times
