Digitaldreamdoor.com is a repository of entertainment and
information, a non-commercial website completely owned, operated,
designed, maintained, controlled, and paid by the chief editor Lew
in Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. The site features unofficial lists
such as the greatest songs/albums/artists and movies of certain
genres, based on the competent suggestions of visitors and the
editors' knowledge of each list (there are several editors). It has
by far the most comprehensive song lists featuring a multitude of
genres such as rock, funk, jazz, blues, disco, classical music,
etc., and is ever-expanding with new ideas. Also included are
jokes, lyrics, games, and pictures.
DDD history
Although
fairly new, Digitaldreamdoor.com began in September 2003 as a
website displaying artwork before it began to incorporate rock
lists from
Guitar Magazine and
VH1. This all
changed when the infamous
Rolling Stone "Greatest Rock
Artists" list came out; the website owner saw how visitors to the
Rolling Stone website were allowed to post comments, and
this gave him the initiative to create an open forum at
Digitaldreamdoor.com to target the rock lists he had already put
up.
What initially began as rock lists from other publications
soon evolved into the author's own take of the the greatest in rock
n roll. Thereafter, more editors were recruited to put up lists for
other genres such as jazz, blues, and classical music and since
then the site has been growing. Currently, as of November 2005,
there are over 100 music and movie lists, making
Digitaldreamdoor.com one of the most popular sites on the
web.
Credibility
The editors of their respective lists
strive for accuracy as is evident in the several updates based on
the competent suggestions from visitors and other editors as well.
The more competent suggestions, the better the lists become.
There
is nothing "official" about the lists. They are as a means for
informative and entertainment purposes.
Growth and
expansion
Digitaldreamdoor.com continues to expand, and
visitors are able to view which works have been updated or what new
pages have been made through the "Updates" button at the top of the
page. Also, they are free to post on the forums, guestbooks, or
even e-mail the editors.
