Those widgets are cool but....
I'm pretty sure with the langauge that flys around on this board there is no way this site would really get a G rating :

I think it improved because Guest Zero has not made many comments recently. Plus, I can't believe you have doubts. This is the top rated Web ranking system out there and their methods are top quality (as far as I know) ;). Besides, how can you not trust a site that is moonlighting ranking Webs, while their day job is setting up singles on dates. I mean the two things are almost similar. They should know what is going on.
I just ranked my 9 year old nieces blog site ( Save Our Friendly Creatures ). This is a site created by kids, for kids and reviewed meticulously for any objectional materials by adult guardians. To my suprise it returned the following ranking:
This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
kill (5x) dead (2x) suicide (1x)
So what I can not understand how Swampbubbles, where the F bomb is dropped regularly and the content (by the nature of the site) is controversial can achieve a rating of:
This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
dick (1x)
Really brings into question the credibility of the ranking system.
...my blog is also rated G...
neat site!
"G" here too..lol
la di da
Actually, this company is smart. Develop a weak program to create a badge that links to your site which is about online dating, not Web tools or anything dealing with content problems. As the people place the badges on their sites, your link count skyrockets and improves your Google ranking like crazy....brilliant.
nothing is free. had this site charged for the service, may have copyed the link..but nope..nothing of value is free, not even Freedom. Many have paid with their lives for our Freedom and our ability to be self governing. In a few minutes it will be the 4th of July. Perhaps this year we can all examine our lives here and what we can to to honor the memory of those that fought for our Freedom.
The 4th of July is a day we celebrate our independence. I celebrate that every day of my life. How do the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights stack up to today's, Toledo? How about the Constitution? Or this... What does you gut say? How does it stack up to your faith or lack of it? What would you do if you had the guts to do what your heart said?
I didn't see a lesson in the costs of freedom from that little blog rating app.
I'll be honest, I still don't.
The comments on the validity of the rating system. The comments about the dating service attachements. A service offered for free is tantied with alterior motives. Much like the WiFi, much like the East river project, much like everything in politics and the commentary on it, nothing is free.
Though the rating system is a "small" analogy, it bares the same truth...Nothing is without cost. Anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is.
Yikes - my blog came up as PG-13. Better get out the soap and wash out my virtual mouth...
:-{
... this way first Mike.
I used "slap" once and "pissed" four times, earning me the dreaded "R" Rating . . .
Oh my!
:-)
We "G" group are proud of our General Audience ratings...well some of us...
:-)
I was checking that site out and I noticed that it is really only checking the page the url leads to, not the whole site.
I put in this url for one of the smoking threads;
http://swampbubbles.com/local_bar_owner_challenges_smoking_ban
and we got this rating:
This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
hurt (13x) ass (12x) sex (6x) death (5x) fuck (4x) shoot (3x) dead (2x) gun (1x)
That sounds more like this place :p
I was mearly amused at the G rating for this forum and was curious as to just how it could have gotten it.
I didn't worry about or click any of the other links.
So I'll see your la di da and raise you a fiddley dee.
Chad, it was meant as fun, humor, hence even if free it did have value as many people were entertained by it. I appreciate our freedoms but to me, we do have the constitutional right to be silly at times and to have fun, even with meaningless widgets.
:-)
I take full responsibility for starting the "ratings" craze here in our part of the blogosphere. Of course it's probably not accurate but it has been quite a bit of fun and I did at least find one or two R rated sites during the adventures we had in talking about this. I saw it on blogger that I read in Akron and it looked like a fun thing to try, I was surprised Glass City got a G rating, it tells me "no bad words found" even after a few of us wrote some "bad words". It doesn't seem to measure comments only basic posts which is probably why the ratings change if you enter a post url, that might measure comments. Anyway...Chris is 100% right, it was a cute idea for Mingle to create because it has gotten many of us to link to a dating site that we would not normally do.
:-)
Couldn't have said it better :)
