Social bookmarking site where posts are rated by number of pageviews
25/06/2007Spotplex is a new social bookmarking site with a difference. Blog posts are rated and listed on its homepage just like in Digg. However, the difference here is that the rating is done not by user votes but according the number of page views that post receives.
All you need to do is register your blog and install the Spotplex script on your blog and you are done with it. The more number of times your posts are viewed, the higher are their chances of getting into the Spotplex front page.
I’m quite excited with this new model. Posts can actually be rated by how popular they are on the Web and not by a select number of voters on a particular site. Soon, many bloggers will have this on their blogs and we can see some good results soon. Sometimes I wonder if this model has a chance of becoming as popular as the big league sites of today like Digg.
However there is one concern. I wonder if it will only be the posts of big blogs with the largest number of readers that will always make it to the front page. This way, it becomes very obvious which posts will be rated higher than another, and it becomes just another plain news aggregator. Check out Spotplex here.
