Yo Dude, What’s Your Radicalization Score?!

As part of Salafimedia’s facelift this weekend, the site added a bunch of cool new features, including my favorite: a radicalization score.

Besides your “rad” score, the new SalafiMedia site has all the social network functionality that you need to create a self-sustaining environment for users, including an MP3 library you can customize:
