Likebetter.com - Choose your favorite image and see if most people agree with you.

At Likebetter.com you can stare at your monitor for hours just simply looking at two photos and selecting the one you like better. Then the site shows you the percentages of votes for each image. You can choose different channels with topics like “Women,” “Birds,” or “Strange,” just to name a few. The images are mostly of high resolution and plenty of them are artistically intriguing and aesthetically attractive. Each member has a profile showing their contributions to the site. There is also the option to comment on images. Additionally, Likebetter has a couple of games: “How well do your friends know you,” and “How much are you like your friends.” Both games compare your voting habits to those of other people in the site´s virtual community and then the results reveal something about your relationship. Your characteristics are gradually accumulated in your profile, so that over time the choices you make on the website define you more and more.

“Brian and I have recently coined the term “crowd-sourced photo filtering” to describe what likebetter.com does.

All photographers are eager to get feedback on their images, and it could be very interesting to be able to know what kinds of people favor your work. It could also be potentially useful for marketing purposes. Likebetter is fun and games for people who just want to play around on it, but it could definitely be a useful tool for people who take marketing to a psychological level.

If the site refuses to allow advertisement, where are they planning on getting their funding?
