The Idea

The Internet Hall of Fame would be a collection of all the best things on the internet. People would be able to go to the Internet Hall of Fame website and nominate what they want to be inducted. You could nominate a certain video or a certain webpage like YouTube or you could suggest just a general thing that is prominent on the internet like blogs or podcasts. Other visitors of the site will then be able to vote on the nominated items and add their own reasons why it should be inducted. Bi-montly a new item will be added to the Internet Hall of Fame. In the Hall itself there will be a list of items currently inducted and you can choose one to go to the inductee's page. On the inductee's page will be info on the inductee. There might be a description of the inductee, websites about the inductee, comments from voters about the inductee or a speech or an interview from the founder of the inductee.

I thought of this idea when I was...

what would you say is the main difference between this and, for example, digg.com? is it meant to work like a repository of what was hot six months ago, like an archive of cool, or are you generating something new that is relevant in competition with all the other ranking sites?

the reason why i don't see much difference between what you are suggesting and what already exists is because the additional "inductee" info you want to have already happens through comments and links off to other pages - is there a need to centralise this in one place, and what's the benefit?

and where's the revenue?
