Comments on: Holiday partay! http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/holiday-partay/ neat fun stuff Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:16:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Krizze http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/holiday-partay/#comment-28393 Krizze Fri, 19 May 2006 11:55:33 +0000 http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/?p=114#comment-28393 The Neighborhood Watch is an initiative to make sure that your neighbors are in any visible way linked to other, more suspicious neighborhoods. This would devalue the real estate prices in the entire area. Mind you, having scrupulous contacts hurt your neighbors' social rank and YOU are only appreciated as long as you have decent neighbors! So, try and follow your neighbors to see what kind of contacts and links they have. Report any suspicious activity. Especially watch out for suspicious farmers, drug sellers and of course visits to red light districs. Luckily, some of your neighbors may have implemented a wise "nofollow" strategy in their relations already, so they just put on their black hat and disappear into the night whenever they feel that pressing urge to socialise with bad neighborhoods. This shouldn't hurt anyone if not done extensively. The Neighborhood Watch is an initiative to make sure that your neighbors are in any visible way linked to other, more suspicious neighborhoods.

If all the other members also joined without knowing what it is, then a neighborhood watch is basically a bunch of signs saying the community is watching... without anyone actually watching. Does that count as cloaking? Matt apparently joined a neighborhood watch without knowing what it is.

You should make a custom one with a caricature of Inigo. many neighborhood watch groups post signs on street light posts and stop signs, etc., letting people know that the community is watching.

You'll find it in the adult section under Voyeurism Seriously, it's a community or part of a community that keeps it's eye on each other's properties and reports anything untoward to the authorities. Neighbourhood watch….

Seriously, it’s a community or part of a community that keeps it’s eye on each other’s properties and reports anything untoward to the authorities.

Is del.ici.ous's interface is too geeky for prime time? Is the tag idea is a significant step in right direction? When do you have a critical mass of content evaluation? 10% of user base? maybe it's only 1%? Can spammers hack this approach?
