@ghostlightning. dammit, I lost my reply O.o

Well, yea, building it up with all the experiences is a pain in the ass. Of course there could be some importing tools that parse lists from elsewhere, but I haven’t really found time for that. Also, having a complete experience isn’t really necessary for melative (it’s nice, but a subset works).

We’re exploring advantageous ways to interact with any form of media, so it could be used alone just for the relative ratings, the stream, recommendations, whatever. What matters is that interacting in almost any way on the site begins to build something… and if a user finds a really handy feature, there should be a way for accessing that data externally to the site, be it feeds or api or 3rd party apps/plugins.

I would not rank the sources because what matters the most to me is not who, but why.

I’m remiss in building my melative account, but it’s something I’m very keen on doing sooner than later.

I see a lot of similarities in our ‘influencer profile’ and I’m very interested in how you go about answering the 2 questions you’ve presented.
