Social Experiment at Amazon

It looks like Amazon.com is doing an experiment in social tagging. UnSpun beta allows users to create lists of anything they want, associate links with each item, then open up the list to the community of Internet users to rank and comment.

One of the most popular lists at UnSpun right now is titled Best Blogs about Biblical Studies. It lists 65 blogs that deal with biblical studies issues. It's worth visiting as you will probably find some new blogs or sites to check out.

The way their ranking system works is that visitors can "vote" for items on the list by clicking the up or down arrows as shown below (see the "click" pointer). 

If you click the Your Ranking link and sign in, you can create your own ranking of some or all of the items in the original list.

Just click the left-pointing arrow to move items to your list (as shown below). This impacts their spot in the Community Ranking even more than the simple up or down vote.

Check it out and show your support for the Logos Blog if you are so inclined.

I'm afraid that all of this emphasis on Rankings is getting rather rank to tell you the truth. I just want to live life!

Sorry, David...I don't want to weary anyone with hyper-competitiveness. :-) My hope was that the list of biblical studies blogs would be helpful to our readers. Lots of good stuff there.
