Y was Give Me Cool Points.com Made?
Give Me Cool Points.com is a School Project By Jose Alfredo Lara (hay thats ME!!!) for Programming for Designers. The class is an introduction to PHP and MySQL. For the classes final Project witch was 40% of the class grade each student had to build a web sit that used MySQL, CSS, PHP and either Javascript or Flash.
So Give Me Cool Points.com was Designed as a Social Bookmarking System. Not to Compete with Digg or del.icio.us. Just to see how far the lessons learned in class could be taken.
What is Give Me Cool Points.com
At this time Give Me Cool Points.com is in Alpha Testing by Jose Alfredo Lara and a few friends.

WTF are Cool Points and why do
I want them
Cool points are not for people... (yet) at this time this site is meant to be a place where people can share links they think are cool. To have other people agree and give more cool points or disagree and give negative cool points. basically its a way for web designers and developers to improve there Search Engine Optimization.
