Truthiness Rating

30 Boxes has created a social reputation system.

Huh?

Yep, we have come up with a rating system named after a term coined by Stephen Colbert. It is consists of two aspects:

First, a color (yellow or green) which indicates if a Buddy Page is registered and confirmed by email (green) or if has been generated from the open web (yellow).

The second part is a numerical score from 1-9 that is a fuzzy indicator of social connectedness and participation.

If you know Stephen, let him know. The Web will never be the same.
