I like the birthday idea. As for the other questions, we're all here because we love a certain media (music) and that likely carries over to literature, film, and art (and videogames maybe?); so, I suggest we add the birthday question along with one entry allowed for favorite film, favorite artwork, favorite piece of literature, and favorite videogame. If you're adamant about keeping it to three added questions though, I would go with the birthday, film and art because those two media seem to be more tied to popular music than literature or videogames (hopefully those would be added later). Again though, only one entry allowed for each question

yes, I agree. I think we´ll add gender, birthday and country as three extra optional fields to the user profiles This should be enough (for the time being), to get some idea of where people are coming from with their charts, ratings, comments etc. We can always add more at a later date, if something else is needed.

What is the difference between the current profile field Location and the proposed Country?

Not everybody uses the current location field properly, we will probably keep it, but also add a drop-down list of countries to pick from. e.g. If somebody writes ´my bedroom´as their location they can also pick 'Canada' as their country. We would then be able to compile charts for each country etc which might be quite interesting to see, or if you wanted to see an overall chart just taking into account American opinion you could do that too...

Agree on the country drop down list but would eliminate the location open list then or specify city or state.

It is difficult, 1234567890 said that birthday might encourage ageism... and the same could be said of gender encouraging sexism, or if the two were taken together (god forbid!)- possible predation.

I'd like to have a grasp of who it is I'm talking to, but not at the expense of exposing them to potential discrimination or harassment.

I think I like the ideas floated about tastes better...I think they tell you more about a person that really matters.

yes, we´ve got to be a bit careful, so these would be optional fields for those people that want to fill them out and these are nothing more than the old 'age/sex/location' you used to find on chatrooms. It´s a quick way of getting the essentials of who you are communicating with.

We could also add favourite book/film/painting/sculpture/game/colour/girl/guy field(s) as well but these questions seem to be more diffcult to decide upon and some people are going to be really into paintings and others more into computer games etc, so the difficult thing is trying to find a common ground where we don´t have to ask a hundred questions to find out something interesting.

I was wondering if you could add the Texas (US state) flag to the nationality options. We're kind of our own thing :) but for reals
