Where in the world are cute animals?

I know, it isn't always easy to determine what our category our lens should be and sometimes we make a mistake, but I think a found a significant number of lenses that are in categories that have nothing to do with their subject - what they are about.

Not surprisingly, I found most "offenders" in the Entertainment category. I believe that 4 of the lenses shouldn't be there - especially those 3 of them talking about earning money from so called "funny videos":

• funny videos cash money (LensRank: 54)
• How to have a Lucid Dream: virtual reality SECRET FANTASIES? (LensRank: 66)
• THE LATEST TREND - THEVIDEOSENSE (LensRank: 78)
• lots of funny top rated videos : fantastic amazing outrageous (LensRank: 81)

Arts and Literature category also has a number of misclassified lenses - 3. Here they are:

• Dog Gone Knit - Free Dog Sweater Patterns (LensRank: 8)
• Create a custom MySpace overlay (LensRank: 33)
• Karrine Steffans news (LensRank: 39)

There are 2 lenses in Recreation category that I think could be placed better somewhere else:

• OOAK Polymer Clay Babies (LensRank: 45)
• Holiday PEZ (LensRank: 85)

And here are other - single - improper classifications in various other categories:

Computers and Technology - Most Innovative Churches (LensRank: 47),
Education - Creating a Profile on MySpace for Thevideosense (LensRank: 63),
Health and Medicine - The Ins and Outs of Body Piercing (LensRank: 94),
Home - UpDos For Proms, Weddings or Just Everyday (LensRank: 10),
Kids and Teens - World of Warcraft - bots - cheats - walk thru guides (LensRank: 88),
Movies - You Can Make Money Sharing Videos Online - Revenue Share Program (LensRank: 65),
People - Japanese Tattoos (LensRank: 4),
World - Cute Animal Pictures (LensRank: 52)

There were few more, but they were borderline… But those above - they are obvious. 17 lenses out of 100. I hope they will be moved to proper categories before we start Topic-specific lensranking.

Why the LensRank positions on Dashboard and in Top 100 don't match

Many lensmasters complain any time the numbers they see on their Dashboard don't match what is being presented in Top 100.

We have such situation today - Jan. 27, 2007. In fact, todays Top 100 is only Top 99 and one of my favorite lenses - "Google Earth ( My Passion )" by jeffryv - is out of Top100 - where it deserves to be! [as of noon, 01/27/2007]

I looked at All Lenses by Popularity list and found out why!

At #44 we have - Sex Guide - Adding Spice to Your Relationship by Ladylove.

I have no further comments.
