On second thoughts…
OK. We’ve had a rethink (mainly due to a bit of early feedback - thanks), and we’re considering not putting your photo at the top of a chart you’ve created. Why? Well it’s like this…
The simple reason is: you start a chart, and your picks, as they do now, live on your profile. The chart that appears under your pic - like the example we stuck on the previous post - will be the aggregate of everyone’s picks. You know, like a chart. So it’s possible that having kicked off the debate on the most romantic movies of all time, your least favourite romantic movie of all time might actually be voted to the top, and there it is, sitting under your photo.
Under our new thinking, if you start a chart, you’ll still get the credit, your name will still be up there in lights* and people will still be able to click a link to see your original list on your profile, we’ve just toned the whole ‘ownership’ aspect. You get to start the chart off, but once you release it out there into the wild, it’s not really ‘your’ chart anymore, everyone’s allowed to vote on it (and, in fact, the more people that vote on it the more ‘famous’ it gets and the higher up our list it will go…).
Does this make sense? That’s where we’re at at the moment anyway. Let us know what you think…
