The Value of Anonymous

Filed under: TheVideoAwards, Community, Anonymous — Dave @ 1:10 pm

So one question we’ve been meaning to answer is the fact that we do not require people to login to the site to vote. This is actually by design and not by accident or “lack of functionality.” We believe there is value in anonymous. We want to make the experience as painless as possible. You can come to the site, upload a video, vote and comment without the “baggage” of creating a new account. People may be more likely to interact.

Now with that said, there is definitely some value in allowing people to create a profile, vote and save their selections for later. It builds a community around the site and that makes sense. So hopefully soon, you’ll see the ability to create a new account and start your own profile on TVA.

But until then, get your quick video fix, vote and comment away!

You've found the official blog for The Video Awards video community site.
