Great article! This brings up some great points. The unique thing going on with Inbound.org right now is it's a group of marketers who either know each other or are vaguely familiar with each other and support one another with upvotes. This creates a "community" exactly as designed but what's great here is the fact that's not an exclusive community. Anyone who has something good to share will get upvoted, and there is no "good old boys" club or people maliciously burying articles with downvotes. It's really awesome.
I have gained more connections in a couple months on this site than any site in recent years, and the feedback I get is really good. I'm really enjoying the fact that everyone seems to be very "cool" which is one of the stated goals of the site. It's not overrun with spammers and jerks, and that's what keeps me coming back.
If we keep up this momentum everyone benefits and this site will be a force of change in the industry. It sounds corny but you can already see it happening.
Hi, I upvoted your article and actually am following you, even if you're not at the extreme bottom of Inbound.org... does it still make sense? :-)
IMHO the most important users, those who vote up the stories don't show up in the top list as you don't get karma for it. The popularity metric is very biased towards those submitting popular stories.
I agree with Tad and also bemoan the fact that karma has become in many cases a race to submit the latest blogs from SEOmoz, PointBlank, distilled, etc, often before any reasonable person would have had time to read the piece, much less consider whether it is sufficiently awesome to be submitted.
