Exactly.

People will always promote themselves.

Give them a page like windycitizen.com/username to aggregate their stuff and they will start promoting that page.

I have that.....but the profile pages need an overhaul to look more Twitter-ish I think. Good to hear someone else agrees. Thanks.

I like the way it works now. But I like the ranking idea a lot-- giving awards to top journalistic reporting.

You could even have a People's Choice voting for different areas each year and perhaps those journals/editorials/etc will ask people to come to your site to vote for their paper/publication.
