The World Whyd Rankings: Explained
This week’s major development in Whyd has been widely praised by the community for spurring action and subscriptions from everyone who utilized the Discover section to find trending, influential, and similar music lovers. The similar people, featured, and friends sections are fairly straightforward, and you can read more about the entire release in this post from earlier in the week. But what needs more explanation is the World Whyd Ranking, how it works, and what you can do to see yourself there!
The World Whyd Ranking reflects the most influential music lovers on Whyd right now. It is based on recent activity, generally measured over the past week — and although the people with the most subscribers generally have more influence, there are ways for new music lovers to make themselves known and rise into the top rankings. So if you want to see yourself there, here are some things you can do:
1. Use Facebook connect: if you connect with Facebook you can see your friends who are already on the platform and interact with them, usually leading to new subscribers for you. You then also have the ability to invite your other friends to join Whyd via Facebook, and those people will be automatically subscribed to you.
2. Interact with other people’s music: re-adding and liking tracks means that people will receive notifications that you enjoy their music. If you enjoy their music, they will be likely to come and check out your music!
3. Invite invite invite: the more people that subscribe to you the better. If you use a custom invite code everyone who comes onto Whyd with it will be automatically subscribed to you! Email us hello(at)whyd(dot)com to get your custom invite code, and share it to your Facebook or Twitter and watch your number of subscribers grow!
And yes, a big congratulations to our blonde music ninja Laurène for her impressive position at the top; followed closely by Playlist of the Year 2012 winners One One Six at # 2; and the elusive, sweet, and jumpy Coup du Lapin at #3.
