You’re so vain… I bet you think this post is about you. Well, don’t worry, you’re in good, and beautiful, company. Why not join all your like-minded friends over at BeautifulPeople.com and just admit you think you’re more gorgeous than Brangelina’s offspring already?

Who are these Beautiful People, now? “An exclusively beautiful community, founded for the purpose of creating personal and professional relationships… an elite online club, where every member works the door.”

How it works is that you have to upload a complimentary profile of yourself to the website to apply to join. Your photo will then be rated based on whether people think you’re beautiful or not over a period of 48 hours by existing members of the opposite sex. Should applicants secure enough positive votes from members, they will be granted a full membership to the BeautifulPeople Network.

Seriously though, why on earth would anyone (a) stoop to such levels and vanity and (b) submit themselves to that kind of possible rejection, and we’re talking rejection on a world wide scale here? Apparently lots of people do though, ‘coz at last count BeautifulPeople, called ‘The sexiest website in the world today’ by CNN was working like a charm in 16 countries.

Try it out if you dare. The answers may not always be pretty but at least they’ll be honest.

For something in a similar vein… but slightly less vain, check out Juggle. It’s a site that allows you to figure out how popular something, or someone, is by providing “factual information on hundreds of thousands of the web’s most popular topics and products. By using basic semantic technology, Juggle assesses and combines facts and information from the most trusted sources on the web to create a complete information set on each product and topic in our database.”
