- Number of members (esp. number of Silverfoxes)
- Granularity of search i.e. how detailed a profile is and how searchable it is
- Ease of use and aesthetics
- Features for non-paying members (some sites are known to be a pain if you're a non-paying member)
As an example, had Inretrospect - Silverfox Admirer been a personals site, its assessment would go something like this:
Number of members
Pathetically low. With an overall readership of 30 a day, this site can do a lot more in the membership department! But at least it isn't zero!
Rating: (RED FLAG) 1.5 Silverfoxes
Granularity of search
Silverfox Admirer groups its blogs into categories allowing for easy search with blogger or technorati. While it's not extensive, it's sufficient for most users.
Rating: 3.5 Silverfoxes
Ease of use and aesthetics
Knowing that Inretrospect can't design for nuts, the layout and use of Silverfox Admirer is certainly clearly above expectations. But as it's clearly not his work, I'm deducting half a Silverfox from an otherwise 3 Silverfox rating.
Rating: 2.5 Silverfoxes
Features for non-paying members
This blog does not differentiate paying and non-paying members. You're getting the real deal here! As far as features are concerned, it contains newsfeeds, counters and comments. Inretrospect even creates links so that you can subscribe to his newsfeed through Yahoo and MSN!
Rating: 4.5 Silverfoxes
Overall rating
Inretrospect - Silverfox Admirer is a growing blog that can do with improvements in several areas. It's user-friendly, contains useful links, has interesting puter lessons and gives you a lesson in international news through Silverfoxes! However, it can do with more members but that'll come with time.
Overall Rating: 3.5 Silverfoxes
