I tried starting a list of "shops in india that would be of interest to Hackers and Makers": http://www.listry.com/list/83050/list-of-shops-in-india-that... on the lines of "Coffee shops in Cambridge, MA"... And I added two shops that I had painstaking discovered a few months ago for buying a few things I needed. I was a bit annoyed that getting things you want from your own country(minimizes shipping and taxes) is still so hard in the era of google. So I wanted to share it with the world hoping that others would populate the list further and I could benefit from this. But it was voted -2. Now I have no complaints against that... Maybe such a list is unsuitable for this type of site. But I think it may be a smarter idea for you to make it more obvious as to what constitutes a bad list. Why "Coffee shops in Campridge" is kosher and why "Shops interesting for hackers in India" is not. |

I voted you down because I thought it was spam, sorry. I've undone my vote now so you are back to 0. When I voted there was just one item with a link, and it looked like someone just wanted to advertise their online store.
Your article seems fine for the site. An optimum article would be more than just a list of links though.
Ideally, I want articles to become full-fledged, comprehensive articles. Like the article for "Reasons to Quit Smoking". In time, I hope that article can become a comprehensive resource of all the best reasons to quit smoking. Then someone who is trying to quit smoking can use that article as motivation to quit.
I'll be working on a commenting system so that in the future it'll be easier to discuss this type of thing on the actual article page.
Thanks for trying out the site and providing feedback! And sorry again for thinking it was spam.
