I apologize for the lateness of this update; I've been at a conference all day (and no wifi!). We’ve been working on tweaking the 10Questions.com site to make it easier for people to find video questions of interest to them. First, if you look at the tabs that run across the middle of the home page, you’ll find a new one that says “Blog,” which will take you to these blog posts. Second, just below that to the left, you’ll see a link saying “List.” If you click on it, it will take you away from our grid layout for questions and instead show you about 30 videos with a thumbnail photo, their title, the user’s name and their voting history. You can play with this list and view videos by total activity (rather than total net votes), or inactivity, randomly, or to see the newest videos. A click on any video in the list will take you to its voting page. Lastly, we’ve added a more prominent “email” option next to each video, to make it easier to share a particular video with your friends. And we just added two tabs that will allow you to either show only the videos you haven't voted on, or show only the videos you have voted on.
In the last 24 hours, users added ten videos to the mix, bringing the total to 66. (Seems like we’re gaining about nine a day at the moment!) The total number of votes hit 21,500, from 5,300 users. We got about 2,500 unique visits, with top referrers being Conservative Grapevine (a newcomer!), HotAir, MSNBC, The New York Times, AllMyFaves (another newcomer!), The NYTimes Editorial Board blog, Digg, Hugh Hewitt and organic Google search.
The range of sites and blogs linking to 10Questions continues to amaze us. The new ones include:
OMB Watch’s blog, which pointed to the fact that a question about political transparency was in the top two position on 10Questions as part of a post about how that issue is bubbling up in the election: http://www.ombwatch.org/article/articleview/4061/
PC Magazine’s AppScout, which “scours the world in search of the best software, sites and Web apps,” wrote up 10Questions here: http://www.appscout.com/2007/10/ask_the_presidential_candidate_1.php
State of Opportunity, “A blog about human rights and the American Dream,” picked up on Racialicious’ involvement in 10Questions, calling it a “cool new media initiative.” http://opportunityagenda.typepad.com/the_state_of_opportunity/2007/10/human-rights-in.html
And co-sponsor PrezVid zeroed in on a question submitted by blogger David Weinberger, on whether the war on terror should be seen as a “war.” http://www.prezvid.com/2007/10/23/votervid-10-questions-on-the-war-on-terror/
