ASK HN: Thank you messages are lost in the cloud?

Re:ASK HN: Thank you messages are lost in the cloud? by CanBug4AnyCode on Wednesday June 08, 2011 @12:18PM (#2633741)

First a question: Do you also think to categorize/tag the posts (give user the opportunity to choose the tags) (eg: the Q&A section in linkedin)?

Use case: If there are categories, you can (optionally) show user's strengths in the profile page. (eg: user has posts under "DIY stuff", "cooking", "gadgets", "coding" ....)

With that profile, I also would like to see the average thank-rate of the user, and see his other most thanked posts that might interest me.

Ranking: I'm not sure about the ranking, but you may consider to provide also "top" lists for the categories, so I can also the most appreciated posts of a domain/category of my interest

Finally: If there would be a way to see the "top" lists, there also should be a way to prevent abuses by bots/automation etc

There are many other ideas that might be linked to yours, it's worth to give it a try :)

Categorization: yes, we do think to give user the opportunity to tag its post/thank you message. We're also planning to create an 'auto-tagging' mechanism based on the type of page that our 'thank-you' button is placed.

Ranking: Yes, we will provide "top" lists for the categories. But the ranking algorithm may include other variables than the "# of thanks" to make it more accurate.
