Breaking out those Reviews into a separate list

So is the micro-content (that makes up a list of Movie Reviews) called Lists or Movie Reviews?

I think the later.

Many people have asked me why Lists aren’t a kind of micro-content. They are - but a low-order effect one. A highly unstructured, not very interesting kind of micro-content.

But yet - they could certainly benefit from having a permalink and aggregators that understood them.

But all lists are made of something - and it’s the something that matters - not the lists themselves. I often call lists - blogrolls.

Well - whatever.

Jason Kottke - the clear leader when it coems to deploying micro-content has collected all his movie reviews.

Coolio - dude.

Here’s Jason’s post…..

I’ve redesigned the movies section of this site. All Most of the movies I’ve seen since April 2003 are listed on one page with my rating and an excerpt of my review (if there is one). You can also view them sorted alphabetically and by rating. Ratings are color-coded…green means good, yellow means OK, and red means not-so-good. When I have something to say about a movie, it’ll appear as usual on the front page and on the movies page, but if I don’t, it’ll just be added to the movies page. Got rid of the monthly archive pages because they weren’t needed anymore. The design is a little unfinished, but it’s better to launch now than to tweak myself into paralysis. I’ll fix it later.

And of course, all this was done fairly easily with Movable Type and a few plugins (ExtraFields, Compare, MTSQL, and MTIfEmpty). I’m continually amazed at how flexible MT is. With all the plugins available for it now, it’s pretty much its own little scripting language/environment, which depending on your perspective, is either fantastic or so very wrong.

NOTE: Go to Jason’s original post for his links. I’m getting tired of copying over links - since MT doesn’t support copy and paste.
