We're now algorithmically curating content as:
UA_Vote = x * UA_Author + y * UA_Post + z * UA_Comment
... in order to include post interaction / engagement.
And @paulag is a friend of mine I talk to regularly, including this topic!
PS, you got yourself a primer on this, because I'm about to post about it this evening (but I have a lot on my plate to manage everything happening regarding UA, UA-API and @steem-ua)!
Cheers! ( @scipio )
Thanks for responding @scipio! I fundamentally think you a creating a really good thing here... and look forward to seeing it develop. I'm glad you're including different metrics to reflect participation.
I remember well the days of "Google watching" to try to figure out how to get our web sites to figure more prominently. And I understand that it's challenge. Metaphorically speaking, we all KNOW that "Sony Corporation" has authority in electronics, but what about the smaller guy who's every bit as expert but doesn't have a $100 million budget? Ranking for "value" will of course always be somewhat subjective...
