We're already working on all of the functionality you mentioned above. The trick is implementing this in a way the climbers will a) actually use b) properly incentivize them to post and contribute and c) not try to overtly manipulate the system! Thanks for contributing some great items to ClimbingVibe and look for the benefits of doing so to increase substantially in the near future. Tommy, thanks for the feedback.

1) profile for contributors. points for sharing. more points for sharing ‘dug’ content.
2) profiles for blogs/sites. tracking accumulated ‘digs’.
3) points for up-digs and/or down-digs.

this isn’t so much about ranking the blogosphere as much as it is about increasing interaction through incentives. extra motivation to participate? i think so. third sign of the apocalypse? only time will tell.

thanks,
