Web Designers are the New Rockstars
This site parses web design “award” sites to generate a Top 40 each week. Now we just need some payola action, and the analogue is complete… but how does one bribe an algorythm?
The site tracks data from an international roster of 10 sites:
- http://anotherbookmark.com
- http://www.creativewebsiteawards.com
- http://designlicks.com
- http://designaside.com
- http://dopeawards.com
- http://iblog.chubzz.com
- http://refreshlinks.org.uk
- http://serialflasher.com
- http://spyline.de
- http://websitedesignawards.com
Not completely scientific, but interesting. It’s a balance of generated and mediated content for a niche audience that I think is pretty effective.
