Can you please guide me on
1)Is this idea worth trying and to focus on? Iam relying on
a) friendfeed API to fetch diverse content like delicious, facebook,Google Reader
b) twitter API for twitter
2) Its sole aim is to provide interesting content for a topic (users can rely on this if he needs to keep track on a topic ),3)What parts of the application requires an improvement?
Thanks
Otherwise I'm curious of what algorithms or measures you used to score shares?
I am working with another developer on a semantic/social processin application. We use external trending sites for search a well as Twitter search API with JavaScript. I think value comes from helping to make new connections, or raising interesting content from friends that may have been missed.
Check VictusMedia.com if you're curious (next patch is adding some groovy features once bug smashing phase is cleared).
For scoring/shares i used the following simple algorithm like
1)Number of people shared this link
2)Blog popularity (i.e) If the blog is popular more shares has to happen for it to appear on appropriate topic popular page.
Any other ideas on improving the algorithm?
I use google reader all the time, its my main source of reading news. I have two years worth of shared, and stared, and noted data. Is there anyway for you to look at that and figure out what I am already reading?
Does friendfeed aggregate all of google reader, or only the google reader accounts that have been linked to friend feed accounts?
