IT'S TIME TO GET SUPERLATIVE WITH THE BEST OF BLOGTV!

Are you sick of those seemingly meaningless STAR ratings? Don't you want a rating system that makes sense, is un- trollable and is in a familiar format? Then you will be stoked about the new BEST OF section (found conveniently on the blogTV menu bar).




As you will see, the new sections show the top 100 "Most Subscribed" and "Friendliest" broadcasters. Each section is broken down into weekly, monthly and all time highs so that new broadcasters will have a chance to rank as well as old broadcasters. These pages will also create healthy competition and will introduce viewers to new and different broadcasters.

Those broadcasters who make it into the top 100 will have a link/s showing their accolades, on their profile pages, underneath the mini-bio section. It should look familiar as it is very similar to YouTube's ranking system.

Note: Because of the size of our site, we are starting with the top 100. Should there be a need for more, we will extend it in the future.

Are you trying to appeal to YouTubers with this new ranking system? I don't see why we really need this. Yeah it's a nice little feature but haven't you been working on more important upgrades to the site? I think you should have stayed in Beta, that way people can't really complain that the site is broke...

We don't even know what is going on behind the scenes, I know it probably isn't any of our business but it would be nice to get regular updates about what is going on.

I think adding this is going to make broadcasting seem more like a competition rather than just for fun.
Then again all the top people on this website are making money and aren't doing it for fun anyways.

Actually SMART GUY(not so smart guy bad =[ ), I'll speak for myself, but thanks for your moronic assumption. ACTUALLY the money is something like $100 a month (for us small guise like myself), SO some of us ARE doing it for fun. (like myself) SNARF! Try not to account for everyone when you speak from your ass cheeks next time, because it makes you look really stupid. Unless that's the look you were going for, then my sincere apologies. Anywho, Cool new feature guise! Keep up the good work!

We want to know what everyone seems to think the "top guys" on this website are. You do realize that ANYONE can apply for the ad rev share program and to be featured right? The only reason a person needs to feel like a "little guy" on blogTV is if he/she wants to feel that way.

We hope that everyone is broadcasting for fun. Making a little extra pocket cash just adds to the experience for many people.

While this feature may incite a little competition, we think it will do so in a healthy way. Just like in business, healthy competition makes for better products. If broadcasters can see who is getting a lot of high rankings they will know what seems to work with the blogTV community and will better know how to mix their shows up for more success. For those who do not care about ranking, it doesnt matter and they will continue on as they have been.

I have to Agree with whoners. Not because he's My Friend cause I've dissagreed with him before on things! I like the new feature cause if you Look at it theres a TAB for Newbies (New People to BlogTV) I like to go to that tab and Help out the new people. I love the Community here I've met some really Great people :-)
Keep Up the Great Work BlogTV.
Peace

I think this is a great feature. I broadcast for fun and enjoy interacting with the audience. This is just another way for everyone to connect on the interwebz.

I don't know what to think, maybe it's too early to tell. You'd have to care about ratings to begin with to have an opinion. The way I see it is that it doesn't matter what your ratings are, if people like you they're gonna watch your show no matter if you're popular or not. But then again, if your ratings are low maybe that says something about your show... hm.
Am I contradicting myself here?
Another thought, since the top 100 have pretty big numbers, won't it just be the same people on the list week after week?
Sorry if I'm not making any sense, my english fail sometimes and I'm just typing out my thoughts.
I welcome any change as long as it's for the benefit of, and validated by, the majority of the BlogTV people.

Hello Y'all!

Who the Hell is Pock-Hole? (is that like a "pock mark left by a popped pimple?)

By everyone at the top I meant youtubers like Michael Buckley and Phil who get paid over $3,000 a month to be on blogtv. I didn't mean people on the basic ad rev. share program because I know they get paid shitty.

[Shawn1979r]

they get paid just like everyone else

In our constant attempt to make blogTV user-friendly and well, pretty, we have streamlined the chat layout for you! Now you will find all of your necessary items on convenient buttons under your broadcasting screen and chat window. No more taking up useful space under your profile picture and no more searching for the elusive features that are right under your noses but somehow hard to locate.

However, the most important aspect of this new chat layout is one new answer to the LAG issue so many of you made wishes about on the wishlist. Now you will be able to close or open the "ALSO LIVE NOW" show area (now located above the broadcasting screen, the full length of the window) so that you do not experience constant refreshing, lag and over all irritation. Simply press to open and press again to close when needed.

You may also see that there is a new button above the chat window called "blogTV chat." This is a clue as to other possible chat options to come...
