We've all seen the Fanpop Spotlight tabs. That little display area on the homepage that let us know about the latest celebrity gossip, new television episodes, and upcoming movies. But ever since joining Fanpop, i've always wondered why the Spotlight is just limiting itself to popular visual media. Why should television, movies, and actors just get noticed. Congratz, you have oficially stumbled upon my idea for more Spotlight Tags!
Music - Celebrities
Who just released a new single or won at the Music Awards? Who is starring in an upcoming movie? What's something scandalous a celebrity did at the club last might? Many could argue that the "Hot Topics" tab could pretty much cover all of this. But for those of us who are possibly-maybe-slightly OCD, it's another way to keep everything organized. The downside is that it would take more room, though.
Books
There's no way to describe how amazing it would be to have this tab. (To me at least^^) We could learn what book is being made into a movie, and what the top bestseller is! Not to mention when the newest book in a series is coming out. If that doesn't sound great, then I don't know what does!
Around The World
What better way to show Fanpop diversity than showing what's going on around the world. Maybe they could feature different countries or Holidays and events that are going on then! What discoveries were made lately and where?
Blast From The Past
Not really something important, but it would be something fun to feature. Famous movies from the past -Grease, The Goonies. What trends were popular back then and now coming back into style?

It's so frustrating. You create a spot, or find a spot you like and add all sorts of content, yet nobody rates it. Days go by . . . weeks . . . nothing. Now, you have lots of fans, but do they know your spots or the content you've added? Are you familiar with your fans contributions?
Here's an idea. Look at your fans. Go their profiles and look at their activity. Check out what content they've added. You don't have to join the spot if you're not a true fan of the subject, but that shouldn't stop you from rating the content. Try to answer some of their quiz questions. Look over their links, videos, and/or images. Rate what you see. Make it a monthly event. Choose one day each month and on that day choose one of your fans and rate his or her activity.
By exploring your fans' activities you'll help them as well as find out more about them. Who knows, you may learn something new and perhaps find something new of which you can be a fan.
