We have improved the story section
Now the story section will be able to choose and sort the preferred at runtime. Depending on the community responses it will sort itself and this process will allow us to get interesting topics on the home page.
This is only the first phase of the algorithm and with time we will improve it further with time. With more and more people using it we can get better statistics to analyze the working of algo. This algo involves,
- Post time.
- Total comments.
- Votes (both “yes” and “no”). We have allowed guests to vote as well with an advanced spam checking filter.
- Total views (Ajax based highly efficient algo).
- Click response and time spent on the story section. (very effective algo, works in the path of major search engines)
- Submitter’s history with the story submission.
- Tagging response.
This is just a beginning and with time the algo will evolve. I need to make the pager work for the story section. I am planning to use Pear:Pager class for it. Please let me know your feedback on the story section.
