"Piczo has always tried to be a more private social network designed for connecting with those you already know - it's like Multiply for teen users who want to build their first website (particularly teen girls).  But that causes a problem: unless you already have a lot of friends on the site, it's hard to browse pages, find new people and get inspiration for your own page design.  Today I hit the Piczo homepage and discovered a new feature that aims to change that: \"Rate My Site\" is like StumbleUpon for Piczo pages, allowing users to rate Piczo sites using a web-based toolbar and have their own sites ranked.  This system is pretty simple: the site loads in an iFrame, and you can rate it out of ten stars.  It also provides information about the site you just rated - like HotorNot, you're told how your rating compared to the average.\nIn a system that's reminiscent of webrings (remember those?), users can opt in to be part of the Rate My Site system and display a \"Rate My Site Meter\" on their page.  This has a customizable design, and displays your rating and the number of votes your site has received.  What's more, there's a rankings page that lists the top 150 sites.  This idea is a great compromise:  it opens up Piczo, while still keeping it secure for those who don't want to share.  Meanwhile, features like comments and guestbooks are disabled when users randomly stumble upon sites.  We can expect Piczo's pageview stats to increase substantially as users become addicted to this random browsing."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
