Loving the Met Art user generated galleries

Seriously: whoever came up with the concept and execution of Met Art‘s member generated galleries (and letting people vote the hottest ones up to the top) is pretty brilliant. It’s the perfect combination of giving consumers the ability to put together their favorite content, letting us see what people like most, democratizing the process, and then delivering the content itself — full resolution and large photos, no membership necessary. We just peruse what people like, and we get to see all of it. It’s perfect; I never feel like I’ve been teased by a bait-and-switch of tiny thumbnails. Free, handpicked fun. And I’m sure it’s working well for them as a business; their members are culling the best photosets and cutest models and cross-pollinating the content, constantly introducing each other to new reasons they might want to keep subscribing.

Enough of my nerdy porn business model excitement; get excited on your own and go check out the Met Art Top Voted Gallery Portal page I just found. Bookmark it and enjoy.
