UnSpun
11 days ago, on November 28th, we launched UnSpun by Amazon. This is the project that I've been working on for some time now. It's been a lot of work, and I've been VERY busy. There are a ton of new features that we already have planned, but I think the initial results are great.
It's a site of lists. Lists of movies, places to get Thai food, songs, pastimes, celebrities, quotes, etc. Anything that can be ranked is on UnSpun or *should* be on UnSpun. You can create your own lists, and then fill them with your opinions. The community will add their opinion as well. Check it out, add some lists, vote some items up or down, and have fun. It's really addicting.
Be warned, there are some lists that are of a sensitive nature and you should just ignore those. We're still trying to figure out how to handle potentially offensive lists like Euphemisms for Sex, Quotes from Sex and the City, Top women you'd leave your partner for, etc. However, there's a ton of *useful* lists that need your opinion.
You can see lists that I've created and ranked here:

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. It's obviously a beta release, so it's in constant evolution and any feedback (picks and pains) are welcome.
