Date Launched:	11/2007
Description:	MakeFive is a website that allows people to connect through top-five lists. MakeFive is a way for you to connect with others through what you think. It allows you to create lists about what you like, hate, believe, remember, and more. You can use these lists to simply introduce who you are, or you can use the system to help you meet others who share your thoughts. The possibilities for this are rather limitless. Maybe this is a virtual "night at a bar", where you talk about your favorite bands in college and learn about new ones. On the other hand, it could be an opportunity to document the greatest moments of your life, and remind loved-ones of them. What you do with it is up to you, just be creative and have a little fun.

Thanks pinksplash! We've been really lucky to have a nice core team working on the project! We're looking to get some funding for this in the months ahead. It will be interesting to see the group grow! :-)	karj	12/02/2008
tightknit online group feel and not yet overrun by trolls 1 comment Add Comment	jascle55 11/29/2008		100% 1 vote 1 0% 0
That’s something we’ve been trying to keep on as well. Every once in a while we get some users who try to make a mess of things; however, the community helps us root those out pretty quickly. Additionally, we’ve really been working to develop a flagging and moderation system that helps us catch bad behavior before it gets out of hand.	karj	11/29/2008
Slick presentation, reminds me of Predictify+Digg with more options to predict and dig at once 1 comment Add Comment	mkensey 11/29/2008		100% 2 votes 2 0% 0
Thanks for the kind words--we've really worked hard on getting the design and functionality right. There are some neat things going on "under the hood", that you'll find as you become more active on the site.	karj	11/29/2008

web metrics show traffic growing slowly 1 comment Add Comment	jascle55 11/29/2008		100% 1 vote 1 0% 0
You're right; we've really had slow growth so far. I think that part of this relates to launching early and concentrating on refining the site. That being said, we have some new things being added in the days to come that should start to drive a little more traffic.	karj	11/29/2008
