We added a sign up to track votes and comments on the resources (so users wouldn't be able to vote more than once). These lists are opening up months of our market research, and you can see all of them without signing up (sign up allows you to see a description and as mentioned, allows for commenting and voting for those that are interested). We're also finishing up the core of the site focused on personal social network analytics: https://globality.be/features which I am excited about.

I think people realize they need to sign up to vote or comment, but seeing the description is illogical and immoral (you're asking people to give you their email to see content you didn't create). That's like if HN or Reddit didn't let you read the articles they link to without creating an account.

Thanks for the feedback wavesounds, and I definitely hear what you're saying. You've convinced me to make the change - we'll make sure to flag to the wider team for the next iteration!

Couldn't you just condition voting and commenting on a signup?

Seems pretty extreme (and bad for growth) that you ask me to give you my email before I can validate the product.

We were hoping that being able to poke around and see all the rankings and lists of resources in the different categories would give the user a sense for what we're trying to do. And I hear what you're saying - we'll work on changing these conditions - thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated.
