In what was one of the most controversial features here inside of Tabblo, we’ve just launched ratings for tabblos so that you can vote your favorites to the top of the pile.

Here is how it works: for each tabblo you see on the site (except for your own) you get one vote. All of the votes are added up anonymously and the best tabblos get to go to the top of this page. Don’t try to vote more than once per tabblo because you’ll just be over-riding your previous vote.

So why was this a controversial feature to implement? Simply put because we’re all geeks here at Tabblo and we didn’t want the site turning into high school again (where the cool kids vote for each other). If everyone is giving everyone else they know a 5 on every tabblo, it’s going to be a pretty useless feature to help navigate the wealth of content on the site.

And what a wealth we’ve got! The sheer amount of stunning, beautiful, and inspiring tabblos was the reason why we ended up rolling out ratings in the end. It wasn’t that long ago that checking the “most recent” tabblos a couple of times per day was a sure-fire guarantee that you wouldn’t miss anything spectacular, but this is just not the case anymore, and as such we’re launching ratings so that you can help each other stay on top of the hottest stuff on the site.

Oh yeah, and we’ve also added a low-resolution sniffer to all of the images on any of the printed products (posters, books, cards, etc.) as well as a whole new way to make sure that no one ever gets an access denied when you’re sending them an invitation to a semi-private tabblo.

Happy 2007, y’all!
