Abstract: An online social community uses lists maintained by each community member, with corresponding community consensus charts reflecting the tabulation of the individual member charts weighted to reflect each member's status and rating as a tastemaker, influencer or follower. The status and ratings will be calculated to reflect (a) the individual member's history and timeliness in identifying and/or following artists or music within the community results; and (b) the individual member's history and value of influencing other members of the community to adopt their choices.
