Grupl.com – Storytime and online community

Grupl.comGot a story to tell? Share it in an online community with Grupl.com, a “group-powered content” site where users can share and rate stories within groups of virtual friends.

A story is rated by whether a reader either “loved” or “hated” it, and then an average score is generated. Also, stories are marked with medals such as “gold,” which are the top two overall, “gabber,” which receive lots of comments, “most e-mailed,” and a few others. Stories are grouped categorically so you can find them according to their interests. Members receive ratings from the site based on the stories they review and the comments they submit.

Grupl.com In Their Own Words

“Discover and discuss the best of the web. Stories are submitted and voted on by the Grupl community. The groups you join determine the stories you see.”

Why Grupl.com It Might Be A Killer

Grupl has a few nice features that other group-powered content sites don´t. For example, the member rating system is unique, and it also allows you to bypass stories that are outside of your selected interests. These reasons might allow Grupl to go to the head of the class among similar sites.

Some Questions About Grupl.com

While some features are outstanding, others are lacking. For example, where is Grupl´s blog and what about an RSS feed? If it is going to tackle the competition, Grupl should consider adding these features. Grupl.com
