New Neighborhood Ranking

Here is a new social media site from Mapquest that ranks neighborhoods. (Click on the post title). Vote to raise the profile of East River Heights and your hood. We need to get the 'undiscovered' tag at least! Not 'Edgy'!

According to the site:
.
If you are a local of a neighborhood, mqVibe allows you to reward and express dissatisfaction for a local businesses by voting them up or down, and get the word out quickly to your social network that a place is worth noticing. Unlike traditional ratings sites, you can express your love or not on a visit-by-visit basis to keep the local businesses honest. A negative vote is just like losing a point in a match, rather than a bad review (which tends to be about the place as whole forever), and where the goal of them game is to get the neighborhood favorites you love consistently ranked in the top 10. And unlike traditional ratings sites, your votes can actually change the public’s perception of the neighborhood as a whole, by affecting the underlying Walkability, Popularity, Going Out, Edginess, Burbiness, and ultimately the Vibe Score, of the place.
