"The ever popular HOT or NOT\u00A0has unleashed several new features with the hope of adding more spice to their service with a greater focus on celebrity photos and gossip. All of the traditional meat market features like rating member photos are still there, they just added a whole bunch of new things to rank and rate.\nHOT or NOT Gossip does exactly that, it covers all of the latest hot and juicy celebrity gossip. Not only that, members can now vote on the \"hotness\" or \"notness\" of celebrities.\nAnother fun new item is the Celebrity Look-A-Likes feature which lets you view celebrities that resemble each other such as the example below of Sarah Palin and Tina Fey.\u00A0\n\n\n\nThe nice thing about Look-a-likes is that it isn't relegated to just comparing celebrities. Other things are examined such as this eerily similar Ad campaign.\n\n\n\nHOT or NOT Polls is a new feature that will let members rate candidates from popular shows and current events on a 1-10 \"hot scale.\" For example, athletes from the 2008 Olympics would have been featured in this area.\u00A0Obviously, political figures will see a great deal of action in the coming weeks. The results of the polls will be updated on a daily basis.\nThe HOTLIST feature seems to be the best and most useful new addition to the service. \u00A0It lets you share your interests with the HOT or NOT community by rating and sharing what you think is hot in pop culture (Celebrities, Products, Gadgets, Food, etc.). \u00A0It's a visual collection of all the things you like most, which reveals a lot about people.\u00A0\nYou can show off your interests on your profile and even add them to your favorite sites (MySpace, Bebo, Xanga, etc.) via embeddable widgets.\u00A0\n\n\n\nOverall, HOT or NOT has added some fun and even useful features this time around and even changed their logo. Of course, many of their best features aren't accessible in the free account version. If you want to contact any of these hotties then you'll need to pony up a few bucks to upgrade to one of their premium accounts. Otherwise, the service is still a fun place to visit for a few laughs."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
