Introducing the new Clipper Index page. Congrats to invictus, our number one all time clipper, and the other 24 of you in the Top 25.

Please note that the page is a work in progress and we will continue to tweak the algorithm in the coming weeks. Also be on the lookout for new features on this page soon, like sorting by any of the column headers (e.g., most pops, alphabetically, etc.)

I'm a modest 31. What's your rank?

Give me a couple of months and I'll be up there.
Maybe.
But I doubt it.

... by the way, ericw, how would you feel about "open-sourcing" the algorithm? I'd be curious to see it.

I'm sorry, I sat on the clicker, there, hello, yes this is MyWorld, can you hear me now, yes,
>Eric < You made it to number 19 and we think you could be doing better. Your numbers are all over the place guy. At 467 clips...
>MyWorld< But
>Eric<...you should be doing better than 50% popped pal.That's only 2.7 pops per clip and a ratio of 1261 total pops.....
>MyWorld< But I don't work fo
>Eric<......That's 240 left unpopped,....

Glad to see you left out all the pre-pop-limit clips, Eric, to give all these young whippersnappers a chance...

73 isn't a bad start.....for a newby. I've learned a lot from you guys (and girls) on how and what to clip, so expect me to keep rising as the months go by. I'm gonna sleep, er...., clip my way to the top (or at least middle)...... !

Smiley Face.

Wow! It's great to have all these statistics; thanks guys. And it's also a great honour to be at No. 1 (for now) of course!

More than 18 thousand active clippers? That's another "wow"! Clipmarks is growing really fast!

I'd also like to learn how many clips are on the database at the moment. A huge info ocean!

That means I get to move into your spot, Coco. My birthday's on the 13th.

Congratulations, V!

I'm sure 55 is a number of extreme significance to some group/tribe/brotherhood somewhere...

Personally, i think i've peaked. Based on the quality of clips coming in lately i don't stand of chance of maintaining my #11 position.

It's unbelievably exciting to see the clipiverse growing in both quantity and quality!!!

O.K. Eric you sly devil you. According to my calculations, if everyone{18,704} popped this clip ericw would become top clipper for - EVER. We must stop him.

Hehe MyWorld, sadly this is not true. Since this clip has been posted, I have fallen to rank 32.

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm and feedback on this new feature.

What is the "Popular" Section and how is it measured
12-7-2006 5:18 PM
debbyski
There was something on the tv last night about Turkey and I said out loud "Invictus is from Turkey" and everyone looked at me like "What?" Some great clippers on this list; including my favorites; invictus, arif, enbar, kore, jklugman, sohil, to name a few. Keep up the good work, clippers!
12-7-2006 9:25 PM
ericw
Of course I know you're kidding MyWorld

sohil, great question. The popular section refers to the number of clips someone has gotten into the Top 20 for a given day. We are still refining how this works, so it's probably safe to safe that it's subject to change.
12-7-2006 9:33 PM
arifsali
This popular section is very critical as this is perhaps what goes out first on other sites (as in popurls) and it pretty much defines what Clipmarks is all about to those who are not regular here (the perception may not be correct all the time).

I hear 66 (my new rank) is the new black this clip season.....

What a game! and to paraphrase Bob Dylan :" A clipmarkian is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between clips what he wants to clip.. "
thx guys- 25 is not bad, huh.. I think

LOL Debbyski, I live this thing *very* often, when watching news on tv or reading newspapers. Almost every news story reminds me a friend from Clipmarks. For example some days ago I saw the story about typhoon in Philippines and I said, "Oh, no! Hope Haraya is allright!" Strange; we have never seen each other but I feel as if I've been knowing most of you for a very long time.

Bingo.

Although in this context this is a very nice sentiment, it is also the source of many misunderstandings and misinterpretations here on the Internets.

Me too, Invictus.

Perhaps in the next evolution cycle, perhaps.

I'm actually not surprised at all. I have been an enthusiastic follower of Community Building concept of M. Scott Peck and just when I stumbled upon Clipmarks a while ago, I instantly realized that this site has the potential to technologically provide a space where one can cultivate the environment easily and rightly so we have, with all its "natural" ups and downs.

Amen to that, arifsali.

Hey, I missed this. Thanks V

Some people have actually asked if I work for clipmarks. LOL!

Actually, I would like to think I work for Clipmarks, forget second life, right here, this is our own virtual reality life. Aside from the big websites like yahoo etc, CM is the first independent website I have come across where I have stuck around for such a long time, and I still don't see myself turning away.

I feel the same way, arif! I hope we never get fired.

Say.... that's what I've been called all my life. Although spelled with a k(athy).

I may be a little late in checking in on this clip but did want to say that I saw this chart sometime last month. Very interesting indeed and appreciate what you all had to do to put it together. Thanks!

Also, just read an interesting tidbit on the website of one of those 3D worlds where people who are members got together in 'real time' at some conference and finally got to physically meet each other. It was pretty cool. Sort of like what is being relayed in this clip... the caring and thoughts and all.
