Ranker.com -- A Place to Collect Free, Unique Social-Behavioral Data

My friend, Ravi Iyer, works with the website Ranker.com. This website allows you to create simple lists of anything that you might want a list of, and then gives you the ability to have other people vote on the list items. This effectively allows you to get data on what other people like, and then, based on how they vote across many different lists, you can see what kinds of things tend to go together. For example, Ravi found that people who voted for Governor Romney tended to prefer classic television shows like Leave it to Beaver, The Twilight Zone, Miami Vice, and the X-Files.

I've posted a Ranker.com-generated list of my own, which you can find linked below.
