Contest Entries

YTMND-Fight system by survient

(similar to google fight)

Common Favorites by Trebek

For a given site, it searches through the people who favorited the site and tries to find the other most favorited sites among them. Currently working (I think). I haven't done much testing or anything, so it could probably screw up royally at any given moment. It also doesn't go terribly fast (Warning: if you try to do a site with 3000 favorites (cosbybebop), it might take a couple minutes but not as long as before now that its faster). I know the code is crappy too. I just pieced together stuff from the widget example and tutorials because I don't have much experience with Javascript, since I'm more of a PHP guy (Damn, having SQL would be so much easier for this...). Any comments would be helpful.
