New QJ.NET Feature: "Jump it Up!"

Posted Apr 20, 2006 at 1:00PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii, PS3, PSP, MMORPG, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 Tags:

As I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, we have a new addition to the QJ.NET Blogs - the "Jump it Up" box! This allows our readers to "vote" on an article if they enjoy reading it! "But why?" you might ask. The answer is simple! By voting for articles you like, it gives us (and our bloggers) a clear indication of what kind of news our readers (that means YOU!) want to see posted on our blogs. So if you like what you see, just "Jump it up!"

But the fun doesn't stop there! In the next few weeks, this feature will be expanded upon giving our members the ability to sort the news depending on how much it's been "jumped," as well as having an impact on where on the page the news is displayed on our "QJ.NET Blog of Blogs" page. This is your chance to determine what you see and what we post!

As an added benefit to our logged in members, they count for TWO votes whereas those of you who aren't logged in only count for one. To register at QJ.NET, simply fill out the New User Registration form, found in the Log In box to the right of the screen.

I hope everyone enjoys this new addition and makes the most of it! If you like the "Jump it Up" feature, the easiest way to tell us is to click "Jump it Up" on this article!

As with any new feature, there are bound to be the various bugs and browser incompatibility issues, so if you are having any sort of trouble be sure to Contact Us about it so we can fix it as soon as possible!

(To ensure that the majority of our readers get the lowdown on the "Jump it Up" feature, this post will stay at the top of the news list for part of the day. Look below for the latest news!)

This story sucks? This story rocks!

Nice!

Pretty cool!

# Suggestion — Guest 2006-04-20 07:23

Why not instead of using "jump it up" use a more clear text like "liked this"? I hesitated to click on it the first time I saw these buttons. You'll notice high amounts of votes in impopular blogs, due to this kind of confusion.

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 07:26

Thanks for the suggestions, #2. :)

We wanted to choose an original and clear "phrase" for this feature... hopefully it will become more recognizeable as to what its for. After all, not everyone knew what "Google it" meant at first. :)

That's also why we made this announcement, so people know what its about. Yesterday was just for you guys to kinda play around with it and make sure it was working properly.

# Nah! — p0p5ux 2006-04-20 07:27

I like it! "JUMP IT UP"...it could have been TWIST IT UP...but anyway...sounds great...

GOOD JOB QJ.NET

KEEP UP THE GU WORK

# :)! — Guest 2006-04-20 07:29

This is sweet ! LMAO at first i thought it was sum sort of ad! (shows that im a dumb)

# :S! — Guest 2006-04-20 07:30

Ps. wat happened to flash support update today :s!

# Lame — Guest 2006-04-20 07:33

why not call it a digg??

# I like it — Guest 2006-04-20 07:33

Although it appears to be broken at the moment.. :)

# it's qj . net — comedy 2006-04-20 07:35

that's why it has jump in it... cos it's 'quick jump' see?

that's the point.

# A digg? — Guest 2006-04-20 07:36

dude a digg would be a copy off that digg website or w/e its called .... BUT ANYWAYS.... i just noticed another nice thing when put ur cursor on a link if its popular than it will same somthin like "19th most popular link".... Pretty Sweet!

# This is stupid... — Guest 2006-04-20 07:37

You guys post any thing and everything anyway. Even if its unrelated to the psp we still see it on the psp section for some reason. Why do we need to tell you waht we want when you guys do that? It seems pointless and its a *****ing hassle to get thru now. Another lame addition that the donation money that we are "forced" to pay to get rid of ads because of the guy who owns all of these blogs and makes mad bank to pay for his golf all day. Waste of time.

# :D — Guest 2006-04-20 07:37

O ya comedey i agree with u !

# !!! — Guest 2006-04-20 07:39

@ #11 post:

Shut up dude there just trying to see what kind of articles the public like and make it easyer for ppl to find a good read (friggin idiot)

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 07:43

#11: All the complaints about what is being posted is part of the reason WHY we have this new feature. Even when we try to cater to your desires, you still complain... which is why its sometimes hard to take your complaints seriously.

And not that its any of your business, but this site currently operates at a severe loss... in the way of tens of thousands of dollars a month. Which is okay temporarily, because we're going places. But please, your ignorance about how much money this site is making off of ads is unwanted.

# from guy from post 13! and 12 and 10 and & 6! — Guest 2006-04-20 07:46

^ well said jake

GO QJ! w00t!

# who cares — Guest 2006-04-20 07:48

this is a waste of time

# Great — Guest 2006-04-20 07:50

This is a great feature. It allows you to voice your opinion on whether you like an article at the simple click of a button. Please don't moan about an addition to the site that in the long run will do you good.

If you want to use it, use it. If you don't like it, simply don't use it.

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 07:55

#16: Since this article has been "Jumped" almost 200 times in 30 minutes, I'm thinking alot of people care. You don't have to like it, but don't assume that you're in the majority. ;)

# blah — Guest 2006-04-20 07:56

at least they seem to have finally realized that most of the crap they post is stupid and we dont care. I would like to see a "bump it down" function personally.

# ah — Guest 2006-04-20 07:57

why not jump on this?

where we can vote it down if we dont like it ala reddit and digg etc.

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 08:06

To be honest, #19 - everything currently on the first page of PSPU I find to be legitimate PSP news. Maybe you're just too picky. ;)

# guy from #15 — Guest 2006-04-20 08:08

Geez jake ur on a roll dude i really wish these dumasses would shut up!

# QJ.NET RULES! — p0p5ux 2006-04-20 08:18

#11 and #16...you suck!

Both of you!

# wah? — Guest 2006-04-20 08:21

i think its a crap attempt at copying digg....

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 08:23

Except that Digg is completely user submitted and we're a completely different kind of site. ;)

Yes, there are similarities - but a good idea is a good idea.

# . — mitch111 2006-04-20 08:29

this is a good idea because it allows users to chat about anything instead of spaming other forums and to be honst who cares about the name? PS: is the sony update even out today

# I want to jump it down instead — Guest 2006-04-20 08:31

# omg — Kos 2006-04-20 08:48

what about the ads? sort out the ads before adding things...people pay you. you dont deliver wow good business!

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 08:50

Kos - please see the thread in the Premium Forum started by me. As I've stated - as far as we can tell the ad situation is fixed since we cannot duplicate the problem from Premium Members.

# Jump it down — Guest 2006-04-20 08:50

I agree we need a Jump it Down for when PSPU posts something not PSP related. Which is all the time.

# #11 — Cr85bro13 2006-04-20 08:51

Ads aren't that big of a deal. I use Firefox and The Adblock extension, so I don't see any ads at all. :)

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 08:56

#37 - We will discuss having a "Jump it Down" feature as well.

"...when PSPU posts something not PSP related. Which is all the time."

Again, another case of someone over-exaggerating, being too picky, or someone who just enjoys complaining. As I previously mentioned, point out one article currently on the front page of PSPU that isn't PSP related.

#38 - For a Premium Member who has donated, having ads is a big deal. As we've mentioned many times, we cannot duplicate the problem and have been trying to fix it for weeks now. Doing so requires detailed input from those of you who ARE experiencing ads and shouldn't be.

# good job — Guest 2006-04-20 09:01

jump it up is cool. It lightens up the blog. way to go

"point out one article currently on the front page of PSPU that isn't PSP related."

FFVII Pirate Gets Busted

# @... a few people — Guest 2006-04-20 09:04

#37 - Anything off topic that we think our PSPupdates readers would like to see is placed in the Off topic category. I can prety confidently say that everything posted on PSPUpdates is either about new games, homebrew, or firmware news. How can either of those categories not be PSP related?

@ those that don't like this feature. Most people accept now the ideas of democracy. If you are well-versed in the ideas of democracy; you may realise that at the time of me posting this, this article has had 495 Jumps. Personally, i hail this feature as a great success.

#41 - The PSP is the only device that runs UMD movies, so UMD movies are definitely PSP releated

# Still A Bug — Guest 2006-04-20 09:35

Great feature, but a slight bug. I see there are over 200 or whatever 'jumps' But as i type this and scroll to the top, i see it shows theres a zero. When i 'jump it' it stil says zero, but updateso n the front page.

Thanks,

Josh

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 09:36

#47: LOL! Probably not. But we are planning on increasing the amount of exclusive and original content for you guys to read. :)

Would you like a podcast? LOL

# NICE!! — RaiderX 2006-04-20 09:37

This is a great new feature!! I like it!

PLEASE REMOVE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS!!!!!!

# Bug — Jake D. 2006-04-20 09:38

#48: Yes, that is a slight bug that we already noticed yesterday and is in the process of being fixed. Until then, the Jump counter doesn't seem to work in the comment/individual article view - only on the front page list.

It would be more useful if you had a "Page 2" articles section for your posts not directly related to the PSP. For example, your FF VII on youtube article belongs on a Page 2.

# Jake D — Guest 2006-04-20 10:42

I was #19. PSPupdates has generaly had a lot of good stuff, but I am posting to this topic from the 360updates site. Way too many of the news updates over here are stupid things like rumors, month old screenshots, general videogame news, and and jack thompson. They even post about the PS3 sometimes, when this should be 360 related news. I want to "shoot it down" on every one of these poor news posts.

# yUP — Itaintrite 2006-04-20 10:43

Definitely a ripoff. But the thing is, it's actually kinda lame to use the system with only a handful of news articles. digg only displays the popular articles, eliminating redundancy and lameness, as opposed to this situation where OLD news will stay on top just because it's good news. Lame? No doubt.

# Ahhhh... — Guest 2006-04-20 10:47

You can just refresh your page and do some other thing, so you can keep raising the number...

# YAY!!! — Cheater912 2006-04-20 10:49

I made the 1,000 jump up!!!

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 10:59

#77 - Point taken, and something we ARE trying to improve on. We will seriously consider a "Jump it Down" function, although the problem with that is that it makes it very easy for a group of trolls to skew the results.

#78 - That's assuming we haven't already thought of that, and assuming how long something stays "Jumped" isn't on a timer of some sort. We're already ahead of you on that one. ;)

Also, when this feature gets implemented, the jumps will only effect the order on our Blog of Blogs, not each individual blog. However, you will have the option of "filtering" the news list depending on the number of jumps on the individual blogs.

#79 - You shouldn't be able to keep jumping something just by refreshing. Once you jump, you shouldn't be able to click it again. If you've found a way to get around this, please send us an email by clicking the Contact Us link in the article.

# down? — Guest 2006-04-20 11:02

can we not "push it down" if we think it's stupid?

# this is irritating — Shadownet 2006-04-20 11:06

Does anyone notice that almost every single person complaning about...anything really, is anon?

This site used to not allow anon comments, but since they started to allow thwm, it's been ridiculus. If anyone has anything important to say the will register, and if they're still a jackass, ban them. Simple. As for the whole "jump it up" thing it's not bad for just ranking articles, but wouldn't it get very annoying to have the same article on the front page just because it was good, what's the point of REreading the same articile, it just takes up space that another article-one that could be important to some people-would.

P.S. About the constant off-topic issue, I do find it anoying, but as long as it has SOMETHING to do with the PSP I can live with it, but like that article about the twelve monitors being put up or something, that was ridiculus...

P.P.S. Just so that the staff doesn't get sidetracked from the main point of my post - GET RID OF ANON COMMENTS!!!

# Stupid Idiotic *****s — Guest 2006-04-20 11:07

People like Jake do these things for us, and all you do is winge. Oh No!! Adverts! Get the ***** over it, you dont have to click them do you?They are hardly intrusive to your reading. So what if theres a few adverts, so what if they make money for Jake and the gang? They give us lots of presents and news, and i check it all out everyday, and if I don't like the look of an article (which is rare) I don't read it.

Show some originality.

# Anti-Anon Association — Shadownet 2006-04-20 11:30

I just commented about how the staff should stop anon comments, and got an idea - start a forum petition, to stop anon comments. Plus, since anon idiots cant post they wont have a say

Who's with me?

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 11:34

#95: Maybe we go to different Digg sites, but the look is completely different. For one, Digg boxes are yellow. LOL! But the look of the boxes is something that will probably change in time.

Re: Anonymous Comments - this isn't something that is likely to change. However, what will get better is the moderation of comments. Already our forum mods can remove/edit posts from comments. The team of Comment Moderators will continue to expand and be more 24/7.

Additionally, the banning of Anonymous Commenters is something that we CAN and DO employ. :)

# ok now im registered — Rizeup 2006-04-20 11:35

Now that im not anon you guys cant complain that my comments are invaluable.

Change the looks.

# Jake, — Rizeup 2006-04-20 11:41

I'm not bashing the new feature.

I'm simply stating that it ressembles a awfull lot like Digg.

Granted the color is different.

How about color coding it instead of using numbers.

Zero votes = Grey

Negative votes = Red

Positive votes = Green

of course youd have to allow people to unjump it.

# Re: FFVII AC — Guest 2006-04-20 12:40

Since I posted the FFVII Pirate article, I feel inclined to respond. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has been the biggest UMD release planned ever since the PSP was even announced. At one point, it looked like FFVIIAC would be a UMD release with no DVD release. I know for a fact that many PSP owners have been following FFVIIAC religiously, so this was something that would be relevant to many of them.

PSPUpdates. Not PSPHomebrew. We cover everything.

# This is F@@king Stupid — Guest 2006-04-20 13:05

Looking I just want to see new news for psp when it comes out. I don't want some stupid jump *****. Most of the negative comments are, because of stupid old news that somehow made it's way back to the front page. Or some stupid LCD Wall project that had nothing to do with PSP. Look get rid of this stupid jump ***** and just reports the new news about the PSP. What so hard that you need someone to tell you what the front page is for?

# Mad Props — BadAndy 2006-04-20 13:06

I have to give it to QJ, they have come up with a unique feature that works. Its intuitive and shows they are listening.

I would go as far to say other sites need to include a feature like this, but it will probably end up like the hot or not meter on 1UP (or is that Gamespot?) and go un-recongnized.

But even more so, other sites need to recognize it and we need to let them know (I am going to write into them now). Because just as IGN sorely needs a revamp in their articles with things QJ and 1UP have been doing as far as blogs and comments in articles by users.

Just bringing the community closer together, making it more of a focus instead of the seperation they currently have. I mean, with Gamespot and IGN charging anually for worthless content we can get here and at 1UP for free (with ads) , they need to justify the price (20 bucks anually, plus ads???? Are you people Crazy????)

# Jump It Down — Guest 2006-04-20 13:24

"Jump It Down" a better ideal than "Jump It Up" so when someone puts so old or non psp news on the front page we can "Jump It Down".

# Finally — JasonJ 2006-04-20 13:32

I was wondering yesterday WTF is jump it up.

Please use negative jumps + positive jumps. Otherwise its a biased number. Imagine if you could only see positve replies on eBay? See what i mean.

And stop the AnonCowards. It was done before, we can do it again.

# I like anon — Guest 2006-04-20 13:35

I really like being able to post anon. People here complain that it breeds lots of negetive comments. Well... yea, as a matter of fact, that is why it is nice. I like being able to state what I honestly think, without worry about my username's reputation or getting picked on by other posters. Apparently I am not the only one who likes it. I wish I could post anonymously on more messageboards and blogs.

# "Erosion" of points — darkshadow88 2006-04-20 14:10

It was mentioned earlier that this feature should have a timer on jumps. A better idea, however, would be an "eroding" score, which gradually decreases over time. That way, instead of an older news article completely dropping from the rankings, it would gradually move down. That would also give the extremely popular articles a little more time near the top, whereas the ones just popular enough to make the top 10 (or whatever number) articles would quickly make way for the newer marginally-top-10 articles.

# ... — cory1492 2006-04-20 14:39

Kyle: (sorry, its a nitpick)

As far as I am aware there is no way to rip a UMD video to a video stream that can be put onto google video; FFIV would have had to come from a DVD/VHS or similar video medium - there is a reason why there will be a simultaneous edition of the UMD and DVD version in NA

I like the fact that comments are being monitored, jump it up seems like a great idea (any plans to have a "most jumped" column or similar? Kinda like the "most popular downloads"?)

# Safari Breakage — Gnu32 2006-04-20 15:29

Shadownet, shush, we get it already

Good one on the Jump it up feature, nice to see you lot working on enhancing our experience

However i think something broke when adding this feature,on Safari (Mac browser) some posts swap subject lines with others, so i get confused when i see a topic with the subject "NetHack v1.0c for PSP" and the body is about Lemmings.

Also, the comments box has disappeared and the right hand side menu starts at the bottom of the page past the articles.

Hope its fixable, cheers

# Change Site if complaining — cubiCPixel 2006-04-20 16:22

Only noobs who don't even know what to do with a psp other then to play games will post comments like "change the colour or change the name of jump it up"... for crying out loud!!! Get a life. Moderators from qj are simply trying to make this site better.

I do agree that a jump it down would be good. I would also think that you should limit the amout of caracters that an "anonymous coward" could be able to write (more subscribers, smaller grunts to read from Anons lol)

# where's the brew? — RizenKaos 2006-04-20 16:43

I use to download at least three homebrew apps/games form this site a day. lately I only find one or two a week! Is this just do to a decline in the homebrew scene? Or is this site being managed different. I love this site it's one of the most up-2-date web pages I can find! I really hope this is just a slight dip in hombrew scene and not the end of a very good thing!

# Er..... — 130x 2006-04-20 16:47

I'm loving this idea but i miss the old school Pspupdates.com.

Not to be an ass or anything..but this is one of the few smart things you guys have done in a while. Minor tap on the back for that.

# boommmm 2k — hellscreamer 2006-04-20 17:01

It's a really nice feature

I love it

*bug : by changing a different browser , I believe everyone can "jump" more than 1 time ( ex : me ,jumped .... too many times and stop at 2k )

* a IP filter would be more reliable

keep up the good work buddies !

thanks

love it...!

ur site kicks ass!

# Over ambition — Dark_Lord 2006-04-20 17:09

QJ is over ambitious these days and also over-zealous. Take for example the maimi vice screenshot that has a "huge" QJ sign embeded on it. yes I know this is the norm, everyone does it gamespy included, but do we really need to see a QJ sign that huge to prove QJ first got their hands on that screenshot? I liked this site more when it was focused on PSP only, in their attempt to focus on everything they lost focus. It is sad but QJ is quickly becomming jack of all trades, master of nothing.

Ps. Go back to roots.

# corderor 2006-04-20 17:28

yeeaahh!!! i love this feature.... thanks QJ .... :D!

# Anon idea — Guest 2006-04-20 17:47

Instead of totally abolishing Anonymous comments, how about giving them a time period before they are deleted... Maybe 48 hours or so. Meh, just an idea.

Also, I agree with both RizenKaos (#128) and 130x (#129.)

# Jake D. 2006-04-20 18:35

#132: Yes, the current watermark is too big. But that's because we only recently added an easier, integrated way for our bloggers to add watermarks. Its something that's in its "beta" stage and will get smaller and less obstructive over the next week or so. ;)

And there's nothing wrong with ambition.

Go get some sleep ... you've been here all day... you don't need to deal with those people who are complaining like babies... they don't deserve the right of being here.. if they don't like it then they should not visit this site...

# Give Credit — Guest 2006-04-20 23:00

Didn't you learn in English class that when you use someone else's idea you should at the very least site your source. Give credit where credit is due.

This is an obvious copy of digg. That much I don't really care about. But if you are going to steal an idea. Just give the original a little bit of credit.

And a quick side note... "Jump it up" is a little... lame, rename the digg button to something better. Even a "Nice" button sounds better to me.

# I agree with 138 — Guest 2006-04-21 01:42

Firstly the new design was a total rip off of Engadget...

Now this feature...Another total rip-off of digg....

this guys have no creativity

# . — Guest 2006-04-21 01:44

Remember PSPHacker? Haha, me too.

# asdf — Guest 2006-04-21 02:12

way to copy digg.

psp updates is deteriorating.

# awesome! — hush404 2006-04-21 04:13

Great idea... it's not 100% original but I love that it's now intergrated into QJ!

# Jake D. 2006-04-21 04:58

You guys are so funny. Apparently, Digg invented a vote tabulator? Its a simple counter... which has been around for centuries. ;)

# proxies — Guest 2006-04-21 05:05

what about proxy swingers? they can vote as much as they want cant they?

# just had a great idea! — aguycalleddave 2006-04-21 07:47

The most jumped up articles each month should be put into a psp-all gagdet compatible magazine. Name - Jump it up! Qj.net's official technical updates this month!

I think its a great idea, now if only it was put into action.

# Digg — Deletegmc 2006-04-21 07:49

How did digg create a voting system i believe it was the greeks actually. I also agree that anonymous posts should be stopped most of the completely over the top fanboys and flamers are anonymous and stopping anonymous posts might reduce the amount of people posting stupid, pointless comments.

# hellscreamer — Guest 2006-04-21 08:35

too lazy to login*

plz add "smash it down"

for Anonymous Coward's comment

it would be great to let some "Coward" know how many people are willing to smash on his little balls

cheerrrrrrr

you guys are the best ,please keep this topic for a while < it's getting hot

# psp update — Guest 2006-04-21 15:23

The problem is nothing but the system of update is up to 2,60 and I want to know if update is advanced other but .

# =-o — Guest 2006-04-22 08:57

interesting idea, but it still feels like a crappy digg clone :\

and don't bother flaming me, its not like i'll be reading these comments later..

# o.o — Guest 2006-04-22 10:36

In notes to investors, Friedman Billings Ramsey's Shawn Milne, PiperJaffray's Anthony Gikas, Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter, and UBS Investment Research's Michael Wallace all slashed their earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates on the stock. Milne was the most generous with the EPS adjustment, knocking his assessment of the stock's EPS for FY2006 from $.50 down to $.20. At the other end of the spectrum, Wallace scrapped his $.55 projected EPS and now expects a $.19 loss per share for the year.

While Milne and Gikas stood by their 12-month price targets on the stock, Wallace and Pachter had second thoughts about their previously stated targets. Pachter's pessimism was especially pronounced, as he lowered his target to $12, more than $4 lower than the lowest of the other three analysts' expectations.

"We are not optimistic about the prospects for Table Tennis (though we are reminded of our skepticism about THQ's Destroy All Humans), and we expect Bully to be a mediocre title at best," Pachter wrote. "Notwithstanding the company's continuing optimism about its effort to diversify into sports, we think that the experiment is not working."

It wasn't all gloomy for Pachter. He did note that Grand Theft Auto was still chugging along. He estimated that the franchise would account for 25 percent of the company's publishing revenues for the year and noted that "the company controls its own destiny, and is a key announcement away [the next installment of GTA?] from providing a catalyst for rapid share appreciation."

Pachter's fellow analysts were more upbeat. Gikas actually described Take-Twos results as "a slight positive overall." In his own note to investors, Wallace said the company's near-term woes are just another part of the transition between console generations.

"We still expect the next few quarters to be tough for TTWO and the rest of the industry due to transition-related issues, so there is nothing to get excited about near-term. Next year, we do expect TTWO to grow along with other companies in the space, as industry growth accelerates," Wallace wrote.

Interestingly enough, the market reaction to the stock has been quite positive today. After closing at $14.85 before revealing its quarterly results yesterday, Take-Two stock opened the day up slightly and gained more than 11 percent on the day, finishing up $1.66 to $16.51.

# moves news? — Guest 2006-04-24 23:05

Does this mean that if a news article is popular (lots of "jump it ups") will it move up in the news? If so I think that's kinda silly. Maybe an option should be added to enable or disable that.

Also, in another section it'd be cool to be able to sort homebrew out from the amount of hits. Eg/ "SMM" gets heaps of "jump it up" hits so it's at the top of the homebrew but "SuperDumbHmbrwA pp" get's pushed to the bottom.
