Then, you can make fun of everyone else because your list is vastly superior.
This is a neat idea, though- the site is called Ditto, and it’s a social entertainment guide on the Web, built through user-compiled lists.
To use it, you search through their lists (currently 857) to find a topic you’re interested in. Let’s say it’s “The Best Chick Flicks Ever.” You can get to the page either by searching for it in the Ditto site or just clicking the always-helpful tag cloud.
Once you’re on the list you want, you have many options. The first thing you see is the “list of lists”, the total top few pulled out of everyone’s list. (Chick flicks? While You Were Sleeping. Mamma Mia. Bed of Roses. BOOO.)
If you think your lists are far superior to these knuckleheads’, click “Add Your List Now!” You can create your own list, rate other people’s, bookmark the list, send it to someone else, or see other lists you might find interesting.
The more lists you see for a given topic, like “Best Prison Movies”, the better the list tends to be. Keep an eye out for topics with only one or two lists- they tend not to be as helpful.
I like the idea of this more than the execution, for a couple of reasons. The big one is you don’t get to start your own topic. Ditto’s rationale for this is that most people were creating “My Favorite…” lists, which kills the point of the site. In my opinion, though, a user-based site has to put up with the stupid users too. Lists with only one person will be ignored, and the site will function just fine.
It does, though, do a good job of finding you a game, movie, band, TV show, or funny moment (also known as “Debates.”) I like that it’s mostly based on a certain topic, genre or premise, rather than just “The 8,256 Best Movies Ever.”
If you’re looking for a good Friday night prison movie, chick flick, or TV show, check with Ditto. See what the world thinks you should check out.
