But unlike many think, it is not<br /> the only factor used. There are several, with different weighting:<br /> <br /> * Comments the item has on maemo.org (available only for local news items)<br /> * Diggs<br /> * delicious bookmarks<br /> * Links on other blogs (via Technorati)<br /> <br /> Like account or app [[Karma]], the social news algorithm is also easy to<br /> tweak to include other factors, so the weighting system is constantly<br /> open for discussion.<br /> <br /> Some relevant blog posts:<br /> * http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/calculating_news_item_relevance/<br /> * http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/maemo_social_news_launched/<br /> * http://www.inventive.fi/sosiaalista-suunnittelua-maemoorg-news/ (in Finnish)<br /> * [http://trac.midgard-project.org/browser/branches/ragnaroek/midcom/org.maemo.socialnews Source code]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Maemo.org]][[Category:Community]]</div>
