Launch Stats

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I have been very happy with the progress and growth of the site since our launch! Thanks to great users and feedback, the site has really transformed from the meager beginnings of an idea I had while out on a 5 mile run. With the new launch of our product and local reviews, the site will be more informative and a go-to-source for user opinions on any subject. Since our soft launch on July 24th, 2008 we have:

  • 50 users
  • 125 lists
  • 125 comments
  • 200+ star votes
  • 2000+ list item votes

Happy to launch!

10to1.com Launches Ranked List Voting Site

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Users Create Powerful Reference Lists and Consensus Based on Votes

10to1.com (http://www.10to1.com), a technology company pioneering a new way to organize data and create collaborative authority, unveils its ranked list voting site offering. The site allows users to create, vote and comment on lists for any category. Categories include tech, environment, entertainment, sports, gaming, business, health and politics.

The process is simple. Each user-generated list, from 1 item to 101 items, will begin as one person’s opinion of a ranked list. The user community will then build and shape that list through voting, comments and adding new items which creates a consensus of the best version of that list.

“There is a lack of order and authority online. It is hard for users to get trustworthy information searching through the billions of pages found on Google and Yahoo!. The user generated content and unbiased opinions found on 10to1 help users to find the best information based on collective user’s consensus and it aids in discovery of items that they may not have considered before,” said Korey Bachelder, President of 10to1, Inc. “We took a look at Digg and saw that people love to offer their opinions by voting and commenting. We decided to take the idea and make it better by creating order, ultimately creating winners in every category.”

Why Lists

10. Easy to digest and remember

9. Encourage debate

8. Creates order

7. They will spread and be shared

6. Easy to write

5. Insightful and interesting

4. They aid discovery

3. People love stats

2. They assert authority

1. Lists are interesting!

10to1.com (http://www.10to1.com) is a website destination that allows users to create, comment and vote on lists for any category. The lists become more powerful and resourceful with each vote as users collectively create the best list based on individual opinions. The company is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.
