Squik.com

Squik.com is a directory of links, which are put into an order which is really understandable to a normal human brain, by users rating them ‘is this better than…

The idea is quite good, but the links they give you are random and one may be about the ins and outs of PHP and the other about dog walking. This isn’t good, as for example a Firefox fan isn’t exactly going to say an IE fan site is better than a Firefox site, and may even rate it to corrupt the system.

An idea to fix this would be when you choose a ‘tag’ (basically a keyword) to browse you have the option to rate between these sites, and none from other tags.

One thing this site could become is a great search engine, where users rate the sites they search for and are listed in that order, over popularity which would allow things like link swaps to increase popularity.

What do you think?
