It was vanity at its worst. Only a few hours after posting my photograph on http://www.amihot.com, I returned to the site for the third time in a single night to check my rating. With each visit, it had increased by one-tenth of a point--7.3, 7.4, 7.5--and I hoped the trend would continue. I didn't really expect to be told that I was hot. I subjected myself to the scrutiny of strangers purely as a journalistic experiment, not to affirm--or disabuse--my notions about my looks.

Unbeknown to our reporter, we decided to check the sophistication of Amihot's technology by stuffing the ballot box with a few "10" votes. Actually, make that a few hundred votes. We--the editors at Tech Times--believe that our reporters are solid 10s in all the important areas--spelling, punctuation and writing style. Thus, we didn't see this as cheating, but rather, merely illuminating the truth. So when our reporter began to tank in the ratings, it was time for us to step in.

On the Web, beauty really is only skin deep--and it can be quantified to within a tenth of a point. Some of the hottest Internet time wasters are clickable meat markets that allow users to post personal pictures and then have oglers worldwide rate their appearance on a scale of 1 to 10. Voyeuristic sites with bawdy addresses such as http://www.amihot.com and http://www.howmanywouldittake.
