My Amazon reviewer ranking is at #200 now. That's pretty good. I think I could drill it down into the low hundred mark. I'm not sure I could break 100 long run though.
I had a look around at the other 200 and most of them review fiction, music or movies. In fact there are only two other reviewers that review computer books in the top two hundred; Michael J Woznicki and W Boudville. So I think that's really cool. That means that while I'm ranked 200 out of 100,000 overall, I'm #3 for technical book reviewers.

Posted by: bsaz at August 9, 2005 12:41 PMAmazon has a review system where you can review books, cds, whatever. There are buttons that people can use to say that your reviews were helpful, or not. Reviewers are ranked based on the number of reviews they have written and the number of helpful votes they have recieved. Reviewers are ranked between 1 and 100,000. I've been sitting at around #219 for a while now and just dropped to #200.
I think it's goofy, but cool. One nice side effect is that companies now send me lots of free books to review.
