Excite your likes with awesome quizzes!

quote [ OMG it's like quizzes and like they're so awesome and like and like like. ]

So this was brought up in the shoutbox, but you may have noticed that I'm advertising a number of quizzes at the moment to test a site I'm working on. The hope is that excitelike.com will become a somewhat viral quiz site so that I can skim new users from it over to here. SE isn't a site that people often want to share and I've found that the best users that come along usually do so by finding it linked from sites they're comfortable with in their day to day browsing.

I'm starting excitelike off with an array of pop style quizzes at the moment but eventually hope to branch them off into somewhat intellectual stuff. Basically take tests from college textbooks and turn them into popular quizzes just to get people thinking. If we're lucky once the site really gets going it will make a few bucks a day that I can put towards getting SE onto amazon's cloud service so things will be a bit more stable and we'll have the resources to do some of the cool stuff (XP, achievements, etc) I've been playing around with in the background, but haven't brought live because they're too resource intensive.

This is basically a call out for people to play around with site, kind of beta test things, and if you guys are down, help kickstart the viral process by sharing stuff on social networks you may be involved with. If anyone has suggestions for quizzes that you think might go over well with their friends, or stuff you might like to see, I'm open to suggestion and would appreciate it. Thank you.

If you want crossover with the SE crowd, you would probably have better luck building a site with real quiz questions- like trivia and other things people actually have to think about.

I would love an actual trivia site that featured challenging, ever-changing questions about a variety of topics..
