Group rankings

At the groupsites.com site you can already see where you rank in terms of numbers of members. Might be nice to actually add a ranking like "#78 out of 4210 groups". Its a bit childish but I know it would motivate a number of people to build their group bigger. Dunno where you would place this information, but some spot on the summary page would be great.
I like healthy competition.

Joost - Competition is good! One thing you don't see at Groupsites.com are the 80% of our Groupsites that are actually private professional groups that are not looking to be found so they are not listed in our directory.
At the risk of being politically correct, your suggested ranking implies that "size matters". What we feel is an even more important metric is how engaged are your members. I would rather see an extremely active group of just 50 members who where making things happen then a group of 5,000 that was being used for nothing more than an online directory.
We are looking into ways to measure engagement and expose those metrics to feed healthy competition.
Engagement is even better. Currently though when you look at "Most Active" in the groupsites.com a lot of groups only having 1 member are in the "Most Active" section. Thats seems a bit skewered.
That's not cool. We'll take a look at what logic is driving that ranking. Obviously not the correct one. Thanks for pointing that out.
hey guys, by looking at Alexa.com, I found out that Collectivex.com is ranked #38,884 and INSE drives 9% of the overall traffic on Collectivex... you can see that here -- page down to "Where people go on Collectivex.com"
take care,

Sounds like we have a front runner!
Christophe, here's a challenge - your group currently has 2,346 members, however, your group also has 7,734 pending members who haven't accepted their invite.
Here's a blog post concerning unaccepted invites: http://blog.collectivex.com/articles/2007/12/17/manager-tip-inviting-people-to-the-dance
I challenge you to ask each of your existing members to invite just one single new member that they respect, trust and know will accept their invite. Ratio of outstanding to accepted invites is a key metric we look at for groups who have defined their purpose and who have invited the right people who will help achieve that goal.
Good luck and continued success!
Shaun, initially I invited my contacts on Linkedin (around 3,000 at the time) to join INSE; more and more INSE members are now inviting other people (there is even one person who has invited over 1,500+ people to join us); it's hard to control who is inviting who... but I read your blog and get your point!
How did you invite your contacts from LinkedIn? I can't figure out how to do that. Thanks.
