They're on the web already-

Too late for that-

Personally, I would like to see the picks *improved*. In addition to
listing picks under sw.slr using the hReview microformat, it'd be nice
to know when a pick was filed, so the picks could be marked up with
hAtom. Through my work with sw.slr, I've found that Residents tend to
use Picks as mini-blog posts (hence the desire to mark them up as
hAtom), so it would be interesting to see the picks have an option to
export to the Resident's blog (though I'm not sure about directly from
the viewer vs sending into LL and having it posted from their end)
One of the things I'm doing with picks that Linden Lab isn't is
cross-referencing picks to see what Residents are saying about each
other: http://svc.sl.net.marvulous.co.uk/resident/Blue+Linden/mentioned/

Also oddly enough, picks on parcels aren't displayed on
world.secondlife.com or in the viewer-

Since Linden Lab host these on world.secondlife.com already, that
wouldn't be an issue, unless you're referring to Residents hosting their
profiles themselves.
