hmph...these so called "rate it" sites are basically
nothing! They have the same purpose as a "blog" in
that the only reason anyone would pay attention to
something on the site is because they already have an
interest in the subject matter. Essentially, anything
anyone "rates" on these sites are simply "preaching to
the choir". Don't get me wrong...some of the stuff is
well written, but I didn't click on anything else on
the site...as well as probably 90% of the other
visitors. This "vote" goes no where, it is not
indicative of anything and quite honestly, if a
corporation took what is indicated on these extremly
non-scientific "polls", I would avoid the company like
the plague for making bad business decisions!
Sure, have you fun by posting on these sites, but
certainly don't expect anything of it and certainly
don't think that what you are saying will be seen by
anyone outside the little circle of those already
interested in the same thing you are!

Sorry about the rant.
