ThumbWarz.com - Rate the World

Want to see whether your friends prefer McDonalds to Burger King? Or Republicans to Democrats? Or the Cubs to the Red Sox? Thumbwarz allows you to put topics head to head against each other in a challenge of who gets the most thumbs up and the least thumbs down. You can put a widget into your Facebook or MySpace profile to see what your profile visitors think, or check out the latest trends on the site. They´ll tell you which topic has the highest rating, the lowest rating, is the most active (most votes per day), has the highest percent of thumbs up, has the highest percent of thumbs down, which were most recently added, and more. They also have an RSS feed you can subscribe to to catch up on the latest rating action, and they have a bookmarklet that lets you easily add content to be rated on to the site while you´re browsing the web.

“Love it? Hate it? Search it…Rate it!”

They include a lot more trend information and offer more portable services than most rating sites. It´s easy to use and you don´t have to register to participate.

How will they compete against other rating sites that are more pleasant to look at and have better designs in terms of their widgets and rating images? Will enough people want to sponsor them that they make a profit off of the site?
