Forum Overview :: Biohazard: Code Veronica :: Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post

[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]Kind of funny reading this with the knowledge that Shirky was a regular participant at <a href="http://www.oldmanmurray.com">my old flaming grounds</a> - the now-removed forums there were literally dedicated to telling each other to 'fuck off' in the most amusing and intelligent way possible. A lot of good ideas about social software came up from time to time there, despite (or perhaps because of) the main goal being to flame each other senseless. I wish he'd gone a little more indepth on this one. One idea I've wanted to see implemented for a long time now is a message board which implemented a free-floating nodal system with regards to user groups. Each post, thread, and user has two links for 'more like this / less like this', and you read (and/or browse, as you will) at a set threshhold. Groups of users, threads, posts drift towards and away from each other within the communal heirarchy as discussion progresses, and your threshold 'distance' determines what you see in you default browsing display. posted by Ryvar at 11:39 AM PST on November 8 [/quote]
