Hi, I've a identical project but for flickr photos: elograde.com with over 200k comparisons so far and some very quality photos. tho the flickr community has not really taken to it too much. (been up about a year now)

kalendae: Nice site. I think the major thing that separates Paul & Chad's site and your's is that you can start voting without any sign up whatsoever.

Perhaps you three should collaborate or you could simply remove the registration portion and let people start voting from the homepage.

you are absolutely right, most hotornot sites have that kind of low barrier to entry. my problem is that people who vote but don't submit photos don't really add to the project (not an ad site like hotornot and especially if they vote poorly and are taken out, the votes have to double up for them to have meaning to prevent random voting etc), right now there are actually way more votes than needed in proportion to people who submitted their photos.

but yeah it might need some re-examining.
