POPrl is a new site developed by the recently launched uLiken.com. The site takes a different approach to displaying popular links that have been user submitted, setting up their algorithm so that the “most POPular” urls that make it to the homepage are the ones that have been clicked on the most. Links are submitted without ever having to register or do anything besides entering the url into the site’s link shrinker. You then have a shortened url in TinyURL fashion that you can post to Twitter, your various social networks, or anywhere else to try and increase the virility of the link in the hopes of getting that content to the general public viewing the POPrl page.
"Most Popular"
This takes finding decent content and bringing it to the general web community a new way, so that votes are not spammed as they easily are on Digg-like sites. Not having to register and yet still being able to make comments makes it easy to use and hassle-free.
Will people want to click on links that have been shortened without any sort of clue as to if the url actually links to what its heading claims, or will they just assume it’s spam? How will they control people who do use the site to create spam links, since there are no user accounts to block or something of that nature? Will they make it possible to see more links than just the few that are on the main page, or will it continue to just be a site listing only a handful of the user submissions?
