My site X Reasons Why... had it's soft launch this week.
The site is a Digg-like site focussing around so called "list posts". People love posts like "10 Reasons Not To Buy An iPhone", "7 Ways To Sleep At Work" etc.
The site is built on Drupal, using several modules that allow users to submit links, comment on links, vote for submitted links and earn points for all these actions.
I am currently not doing anything with earned points, but in the future I could have members automatically promoted to "valued users" (or whatever you want to call it) with elevated rights, based on the amount of points they earned. Those users could for example be allowed to start their own channel within the site, have voting rights with higher weight etc.
As for the design: it is basic, and I am not happy about it yet. I want to keep it basic, but have this feeling that it needs some more work.
Right now it would help a lot if people would be so nice to give the site a test drive. Any comments are highly appreciated. I am more than willing to listen to suggestions, and also more than willing to give some more explanation about the technical side of things. |
