In their own words
"Geography is becoming less consequential. Although your 65 year old neighbor may be friendly, you may have little to share with her. On the other hand, there are people who you've never physically met, who share the same ideas as you.
This is what MakeFive is about: an easy to use venue that gets us all talking with one another and making new connections. Users create simple “top 5” lists for anything that they are interested in, and then share their selections with others. This proves a nice entry point to discussions and connecting with like-minds.
We believe our users to be from many walks of life. Here, you can find like-minds from around the corner, or around the world. Perhaps you'll share some thoughts on a good band, or maybe you'll debate politics. What MakeFive users get out of all of this is a little meaningful fun. We've like to see MakeFive as the 'thinking person's social network.'"
Why it might be a killer
The site is incredibly easy to navigate through, and it’s nice to have lists updated automatically without ever having to refresh and being able to see other members’ lists without having to change pages. Having cool prizes encourages a lot of site participation, which is easy to do because there are a ton of interesting topics to browse through and vote on. You can learn a lot just from these lists, such as new songs to check out, various bars in your city, ways in which you can live your life more green, and more.
Some questions
How are they making their profit besides the couple of ads on the side that gives them the money for these monthly prizes? Could they update the prize page or show what each ranked person wins?
