Wine Life Today is useless
Monday, August 6th, 2007Have you checked out the Wine Life Today website?
I found it recently and thought it was a great idea. If you have ever heard of Digg, you are probably a bit techie. Nonetheless, I’ll press on. Digg is a news aggregation and bookmarking website that allows users to vote for (Digg) the best stories and these get promoted onto the front page so they get a better chance of being read by busy folk. But Digg is really aimed at geeks so if you look for softer categories like wine and food for example, you will not find them. So someone had the great idea of a Digg for wine and decided to call it Wine Life Today, only instead of Digging, you Toast the news item.
Now there are two other differences between Digg and Wine Life Today.
1. Digg is well used and Wine Life Today is not – the most toasted post I could find only had 10 supporters. The top Digg article had 41,619 – hmmmm.
2. Digg has a good algorithm and WLT is totally rubbish. It looks like any post of any age will make it onto the front page with only 4 Toasts. Today there is a post three days old with 5 toasts that is above a three day old post with ten toasts.
Stumble It!
