| BumpList is a mailing list aiming to re-examine the culture and rules of online email lists. BumpList only allows for a minimum amount of subscribers so that when a new person subscribes, the first person to subscribe is "bumped", or unsubscribed from the list. Once subscribed, you can only be unsubscribed if someone else subscribes and "bumps" you off. BumpList actively encourages people to participate in the list process by requiring them to subscribe repeatedly if they are bumped off. The focus of the project is to determine if by attaching simple rules to communication mediums, the method and manner of correspondences that occur as well as behaviors of connection will change over time. |
| {E-mail list project} Reality TV show wanna-bes or turn-downs can do something that's better than getting voted off. Join the BumpList, a mailing list that has a limited amount of subscribers (currently, six people), so when a new person subscribes, another is "bumped" or unsubscribed from the list. After subscribing, I'd be sweating bullets not knowing when I could be bumped and having to re-subscribe. What do they actually talk about in the list? Anything. As a competitive person, I couldn't handle this interesting experiment. Instead, I'll watch the stats and root for someone. When this review goes live, I'll bet the BumpList will go wild with Gnomies. Give me a G! Give me an N! Aw, you get the idea. [Cheerleader Meryl] |
