[Press Release] There are 1,000 crap things

Manchester, UK – April 15, 2010 – A website storing reasons why things are crap has received more than 1,000 unique submissions along with more than 2,100 reasons why the submissions are crap. The milestone for IsCrapBecause.It (http://iscrapbecause.it) comes after only a few months of the site’s existence and a marketing budget of zero. The website’s creator, John Kershaw, said he...

Downtime expected, may last a week

Due to a security issue our hosts (Media Temple) are having the password to our database automatically changed at some point in the next few days. I, the one person who will be emailed the new password, am going on holiday for a week and won’t be around to update ICBI with it. As such, expect downtime.

API updated to use scores

When using our public API you can now set a minimum score all the results must have. This also works with the widget, which is cool. Oh, and the default output of the API has been changed from XML to JavaScript to make the standard widget code simpler. Say, have you done something with your hair? It’s looking nice today. Why don’t you put an ICBI widget on your blog or website? Just...

Some voting stats

It’s been nearly two weeks since voting on reasons was first enabled on IsCrapBecause.It and I thought it might be nice to share some statistics. 4,132 votes have been cast (an average of 300 per day). More than 400 people have voted at least once. One person has voted nearly 250 times. 14% of reasons haven’t ever been voted on. The average voter will vote on just over 10 things. ...

I have a reason

If you click the greater-than symbol (>) next to a specific Reason you are now taken to a page with just that Reason on it like this. There’s also more sharing toys along the bottom of pages that you might want to share, which is handy.

Votes do things

With over 600 votes cast just this evening, I thought it would be nice if voting did something. Something simple. So, voting now changes these two things: On some pages the less-than symbol (>) goes green if the Reason has more good than crap votes and red if there’s more crap than good votes. When all the Reasons for a specific Thing are listed (like here), they are now ordered by the...

You Can Now Vote on ICBI

Hey look, you can now vote on the Random Page. Right now the votes are simply stored for later use. Soon, on individual Thing pages the results will be sorted by vote.

Something of a break

Over the past couple of months we’ve been on the down low. The staff coders of one have been busy re-designing Negative Gamer’s front page. Still, on the more interesting side of things the site supports Reddit and Digg buttons. If you visit ICBI from either site you should find a helpful button.That’s nice.

Share and a graph

As well as the usual tinkering with the hidden stuff, ICBI now has slightly better sharing options on some pages. As that’s a bit boring, have a look at this graph showing the total number of Things and Reasons since the site started (a couple of weeks ago). That’s better.

Happy new year! Have a widget.

Putting the following code on your website will display a random Thing and the Reason it’s crap. <SCRIPT type=”text/javascript” SRC=”http://iscrapbecause.it/api.php?format=js”></SCRIPT> You can see an example of this working in the bottom of the right column on Negative Gamer. Obviously this is just the most basic form. You can add all the standard API...
