This was an experiment called "YTMND Fad Stock Market." I devised an online survey and got 19 people to fill it out. Each respondant indicated how long they'd been active on YTMND, then went down a list of 76 YTMND fads and gave them a rating from 1 to 10 (or Not applicable) by clicking radio buttons. They each rated on a particular timeframe according to the user's seniority - from 1 year ago (-12m) to 1 month ago (-1m), to current status.

The respondants were asked to rate NOT in terms of how they personally liked each fad, but using a term I called "Perceived Value," which I defined as the popularity of the fad and how much the fad would help a particular YTMND site hit the Top Viewed/Top Rated. I used OpenOffice Calc to collate scores and averages and create charts. I've spent a week trying to get the charts to look all 3D and sexy and still be readable, but nothing doing. So, the retarded multicolored mess you see here.

I grouped the fads arbitrarily in "sectors", averaged each sector in an index, and gave 4 examples here. BTW, by "recursive," I mean that a YTMND site takes another well-defined YTMND site/fad and forces it into a new context. Believe me, other YTMND fads defy any categorization - these are just the easy, clearcut ones. So... What do these have to do with simulating a stock market ? Not much, it turns out. The survey I made was long and tedious, and the results aren't what I'd call really accurate.
August 10th, 2006

So... I'd like to think that, in a version 2 of the YTMND Stock Market, I'd draw data from present realtime sources. That's a hypothetical. Because I'm frankly more interested in making farting noises into a mic and making a YTMND called "Epic Butt Maneuver." ... So. You read a lot, don't you ? And you're patient. Good for you. Treat yourself to some ice cream. Let the "boring !" downvoting begin here:

Interesting. It'd be cool if Max somehow implemented a 'fad popularity index' which could be monitored week to week. It'd be hard to pull off. Users would have to actually CITE their works to make it work, and we all know that'll never happen.
