Wanted: Firefox Developers to "affect everyday life for millions of people!"

Posted by Joe Solomon in Rayt it! on 07/11/2007 at 09:30 PM

3 Reasons Why I think Rayt Can Win:

1 - Garrett Camp (founder Of StumbleUpon) & Joshua Schachter (founder of Delicious) are two of the judges. Rayt shares a lot of the ideas and approaches behind these sites -- and wraps them around social activism & change. They'll get it.

2 - None of the ideas that are publicly being brainstormed for the contest harness Firefox's potential for social change. See - http://blog.mozilla.com/extendfirefox/2007/11/02/add-on-brainstorm-winners/ and http://wiki.mozilla.org/ExtendFirefox2

3 - 30% of the Contest Criteria relates to User-Experience and another 30% relates to Innovation. Rayt is all about improving our

Possibilities for the Rayt Website

like this?

In addition to the plugin we are also going to have a Rayt website. Visually, we think it will look something like del.icio.us, though we are of too minds as to the Del.icio.us lay-out. Joe thinks that the design is cool and intentionally simple while I think it is a mess: Where's the center? My eyes don't know where to focus! Lay-out is obviously something we'll have to figure out before we build our own site.

What we both like about the del.icio.us sitea is that it is not flashy and it is composed of feeds. The feeds

For Developers

Posted by Mary in Rayt it! on 18/07/2007 at 05:54 PM

Hi Developer,

Thanks for visiting the Rayt development blog. I am not a developer, so I will need a lot of help to make Rayt a reality.  In a nutshell, I want Rayt to be a Firefox add-on that allows people to write, view, and rate (rayt) comments through a banner at the top of their browser screen.  For this I think I will need:

  • 3 dialogue boxes: make a comment, rayt a comment, viewing preferences
  • code to interact with the server on which the comments are stored
  • a database to organize the comments
  • a ranking algorithm to

The Rayt Manifesto

Posted by Mary in Rayt it! on 18/07/2007 at 03:48 PM

Why the World Needs Rayt

The reason I developed the idea for Rayt is because Web 2.0 does not exist. We don't have Web 2.0, we have web sites 2.0. Some sites - like del.icio.us, Digg, and Wikipedia - allow users to interact and create contents, but most websites merely broadcast They create content and they don't really care what you think about it.

I want users to be able to contribute content to every page on the internet. I want them to be able to rayt (rate) the entire internet, for the Web to be truly 2.0.
