RateItAll Best of the Decade Awards

For the past few weeks or so, we've been heads down on a very ambitious project - making sense of ten years of data to determine the RateItAll Best of the Decade Awards. The awards were given over 157 different categories, loosely broken into "Products" and "Culture."

We hosted a small, invitation only event to unveil the data at RateItAll's headquarters.

Here is the presentation from that event - RIA old timers will likely get a kick out of the RateItAll timeline on one of the slides:

Tweeted This Week: 12/11/2009

Yes, RateItAll has a Twitter account. We have used it pretty sparingly so far, and typically only tweet a few times a day with lists that catch our eye. Here are some of the lists that we tweeted this week:

Best Mass Transit System

Best California Ski Resort

Best Guitarist of All Time

Worst US State Flag?

The Women of Tiger Woods

We also retweeted some of Jedi58's awesome travel reviews of Cairo, Venice, and Naples.

So if you're just getting going on Twitter, please follow us - we'll be interesting, we promise.

Flooding the System with Votes (Continued)

It's fun when a site tweak works as hoped.

Check out this graph of total review votes posted on RateItAll. Can anyone spot the day that we rolled in the voting changes? We'll see if the increased volume holds, but for now, it would appear that this enhancement is exceeding our expectations.

Congrats to RateItAll's design and engineering teams for a job well done.

Check out Loerke's list of Daily Show Correspondents. He's dropped in videos for a number of the pages... I wasted about 45 minutes this morning watching Daily Show videos. This is a fantastic Weblist that makes use of all of the media tools that RIA has to offer.
