Reader Rated Web Pages
Alright guys - while surfing the web a few weeks back, this idea stuck
me. So I went ahead and prototyped it. I'd like to try it out with a
bunch of you.
The idea is simple. I add a browser toolbar button called "Vote".
Whenever
you come across a site you like, you simply click the vote button. It
registers a vote to that URL on my website. Subsequently, I can do all
kinds of interesting things with that data and publish a "what's hot on
the internet" page.
The prototype software is here:
