I actually think keeping quite a good level of editorial control is working for yahoo on this one. It's not going to be sustainable longterm but in the short term it gives the interactivity many crave, doesn't overwhelm their current audience with change.
As an other Brightonite they are real people... I think I need to get myself an arty photo for our blog, mines a camera phone special!
A great series of articles and covering a topic I've never seen touched upon before
Story: No SMX London in 2008?
Well that's good news! I thought October was quite a good time of year for it...
Story: Time Stamps for Sphinns
Interesting observation, does a few places donw the what's new list really make that much difference though?
did you see a discernable increase in direct traffic ciaran? I spose it's very difficult to attribute it to additional coverage
yeah it's an arkward time of year, but surely nobody wants it on a school night!
sounds positive , especially people having the ability to desphinn but only if they want to take responsibility
Story: Rhea Gets Married!!!
congrats, it's mine december first and the planning is prooving hectic. Bet you've got a good honeymoon planned!
It depends why you are linking to them, is it laziness because you can't take the time to find a good resource or just because they are geniunely the best page?
which sessions did you not like on the first day out of interest suncao?
Hope you thought my presentation was okay!
Story: The Googlictionary
You've got to be one of the most popular on that list from the UK glen, even though I spose you are technically from South Africa now.
Story: Is Google Racist?
yet more risks of algo created content. With universal search being used more and more Google have got to be careful.
I think a system similar to propeller could work quite well.
The featured story then serves one of two purpose, highlight breaking news that might not yet have enough votes or keep something important from slipping down the hot topic page too quickly.
I don't know the limitations of Pligg but I think something along the lines of stumbles system where a vote for someone you always vote for counts for less...
sign of a master ;) Andy can produce sphinn worthy blog posts without even trying!
Inspiring accout for anyone who's a bit worried they might not get much value out of a conference. Did danny pay you to write this though!
You should come to london we have great weather this time of year ;)
Story: Where's the Beef?
Hopefully as the community grows the number of votes will increase and people will realise they'll never be able to beg enough votes.
I'll admit I've occasionally asked a few people for sphinns to help get a story started or pushed it popular, but I always hope those people vote on quality rather that to get sphinns in return!
I tend to agree zachary, but you'd be amazed how many people as soon as they get online forget the most basic of social skills.
There are loads of people with completely useless facebook profiles so this was my small way of helping them
yeah it's uk times. not surprisingly the spike is the couple of hours when gmt, est & cet are all at work?
Or maybe we thought you'd think that Nick and then moved it back. The old double bluff!
Seriously though it's from UK GMT time, I think we'll update it today with US times, any requests for other times?
