How do I participate in EekFun?
Once you've joined EekFun you'll want to begin adding links to your posts with semantics that EekFun can understand. This will allow EekFun to do useful things with your posts.
If you write about a given item and you liked it and wish to recommend it to others, use a link to:
If you do not like it and wish to recommend that others do not read/see/buy it, use a link to:
TYPE needs to be one of the following words:
- movies
- If your post is about one movie you have seen.
- books
- If your post is about one book you have read.
- places
- If your post is about one place you have been to. It can be a city, a restaurant, a country, a bar or anything you want.
- albums
- If your post is about one music album.
- events
- If your post is about one event you attended to or intend to attend to.
- games
- If your post is about one game. This includes video games and well as board games.
- articles
- If your post is about one article.
- tv
- If your post is about a TV series.
NAME needs to be replaced with the name of the item in all lowercases with spaces replaced by dashes and anything other than an alphabetic letter or a number removed.
The content of the link can be anything you want (even an invisible 1x1 pixel).
Here are a few example links:
- http://eekfun.com/movies/flags-of-our-fathers#act:up
- http://eekfun.com/books/cien-anos-de-soledad#act:up
- http://eekfun.com/places/san-francisco#act:up
- http://eekfun.com/movies/stratosphere-girl#act:down
- http://eekfun.com/albums/queen-jazz#act:up
- http://eekfun.com/albums/lenny-kravitz-greatest-hits#act:up
The idea here is that whenever you read a book or listen to a new album or watch a movie, you write to your weblog about it, even if just a short note stating that you liked it or that it sucked bigtime. Of course, the more you write about it the better, but if you don't have time for that you should just write short notes, cause you won't have time in the future. :-)
That's all there is to it. Start writing now!
What does EekFun do with my links?
Based on any links as described above that EekFun finds in your posts, it will do the following things:
- Register your post in the page about the movie.
- In the page about you, list your post in the list of movies you've seen.
- In the home page of someone who declares you as a friend, list the movie in the list of movies friends have seen.
Of course, the same is also true for books, albums, places and events.
