What's in store for the MC

I am posting this here in case any of you missed the mailing list email or signed up too late to receive it.

Hey Beta Testers,


Thank you again for participating in the beta test. Debugging this phase is very crucial to the success of our website (and class project).

Since you are all taking the time to help us out, here is a bit of what we have in store in the upcoming months:

- Mixtape Creation: Create and share your uniquely created mixtapes with the rest of the community. For clarification purposes, we won't be able to allow for streaming/downloading due to legal implications. However, we think you'll find that with the rest of the site's functionality, creating mixes will still be an engaging experience.

- Rating system: Rate other profiles and mixes. Top ranked users and mixes will receive special rewards, be featured on the top 50 ladder and much more. The rating system will be concerned with quality, not quantity. Your point score will affect the weight of your vote when rating others. What this means is that those who participate constructively and are respected by the community will have more control over the definition of 'quality' on the Mixtape Collective.

- Gangs: Join up with friends and others with similar tastes. Each gang will have its own private discussion area, gang insignia and more. This will be similar to groups on other community sites, except we want to avoid the 'group-whoring' that exists everywhere else. On the Mixtape Collective, you can only be a member of one gang at a time, so pick your gang wisely.

- Showdowns: A "mixtaping duel" if you will. Challenge others to a mixtaping showdown on any theme; be it "The Ultimate Glam-Rock Mix" or "So Metal It Makes Your Eyes Bleed"...the possibilities are endless. Showdown matches will then have a period of days in which they are voted on by the community and a victor is decided. There will also be gang vs. gang showdowns. To top it off, your records will be displayed on your profile and users/gangs can compete on a global ladder.

- More features: What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. We will continue to expand on the user interaction layer providing a useful interface with the least amount of clicks possible. Expect to see contests, polls, lists, statistics, a forum and more. Oh, and there will definitely be a whole lot more badges to unlock.

Anyway, thanks again for helping us out. We hope you enjoy the site.
