notcot



NOTCOT.org is a user-driven link sharing web site.

The site uses a grid like structure to organize its links. Each entry requires an image plus a line or two of text to accompany it. The reason behind the grid-like structure is to make it more user-friendly to browse through the legions of links that get submitted each day.

To submit a link, a user just needs to click on the "Submit a new link" button on the top of the page and a square for uploading information pops up. Users are required to sign up for the web site before posting and moderators regularly scan the site for anything inappropriate.

 * It is easy to skim through, due to the fact that they don't include large amounts of text on their front page
 * While they don't organize the information in different ways, they still provide a few methods of organizing the links on the page for users: by recommendations and by date
