A Ranking Algorithm #2
Comments
There are a couple of ways that I could think of for this:
Lets be real. A hot post means that it's attracting lots of visitors. Moreover, it's getting lots of upvotes. So, I guess the second approach Average upvotes per view would be the one. Kaman, It would be even cooler if it's something like (Average upvotes per views) in the last week = |
you can build many different ways to order the posts
look at stackoverflow options |
Thanks all for the interesting discussion. I agree with you, a ranking algorithm would make the website much more useful. I'm planing to implement an algorithm that's very similar to the one that's used by HackerNews. Here's the algorithm with a good discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1781013 |
The current way of ordering the posts (by date or votes) has no way to surface the “hottest” posts; a raking algorithm would help solve that problem and greatly improve the user experience.
