Announcing xmas2004.quitfiltering.com Alpha: Interactive Christmas List

I'm happy to announce a new little gizmo/social experiment I am launching. I'm amazed at the number of systems that are now launching which use tagging systems and other forms of written democracy. Last week, I spent a day or so working up a prototype of my own incarnation at xmas2004.quitfiltering.com.

What I've made basically a little dynamic poll. When you go to the site, you are asked to tell something really simple (what you want for Christmas, in this example). You vote based on your gender. From there, the results are sorted and collated for you and you can see just how popular your gift is with guys, girls, etc. I hope you'll give it a try.

The idea for QuitFiltering came from some work I have been doing in plans for a possible user-generated book on modern relationships. There's lots of uses for the code already and I'm still adding in a lot of other things on the backend (but that's gonna have to wait till next year)!. Expect more lists this week and feel free to let me know if you want me to setup a list for you.

CFMX Developers - Has anyone ever encountered a bug with CF by which it can't access queries converted from WDDX? I was implementing some file-based caching and had to scrap it as a result.
