22 of 30 - Rating Rating Communities
Jun. 22nd, 2005 10:09 pm
There are literally tens of thousands of official livejournal communities. About ninety percent of these are probably "ratings communities" -- communities where one must submit an application and subject themselves to the ratings and harsh criticism of existing members before being accepted (or rejected) to become one of these members ... for the sole purpose of doing it to others.
I got this idea about a year ago -- what if one creates a community where one rates communities. That will give one a chance to tell all the lame ones what-for!
And the "business model" makes sense -- many of the ratings communities have a requirement that applicants promote them in another community, so if one were to name-drop this one in another promo community (yeah there are communities dedicated to promotion of communities), people will flock to it to promo their own by being rated.
And so ratecommunities was born. The picture above is of our expert tribunal in session.
12 communities have been rated so far: ( Let the judgement begin! )
If anyone else would like to get involved in this brilliant project we currently need some more judges.
New project coming soon!
