Imagine a little graph at the left-hand side showing the current idea quality (as judged by the votes for all ideas in the last ___ hours), giving an idea where the HB market is, and where it's headed.
Modifications welcome.

I would say that we've recovering nicely from the brief recession in mid-February, and we are actually seeing some euphoria as we head into the usual weekend lull in baking. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

I was thinking of a graph of some sort, complete with numbers. |
|
| |
'The halfmarket jumped 60 points today after record croissanting for some great ideas.' (cut to graph) |
|
| |
Couldn't be that difficult to do, and might add some value. However might play more into endless analysis chatter and misuse of the voting system, with no end in site, and would create 'popularity waves.' I remain neutral. |
|
| |
I had thought of that. I'm not completely sure either. |
|
| |
At first, I agreed with the general consensus that the pastry/fishy display was already graphing each idea's merits, but then I realized [galukalock] might be seeking a general, overall, thumbs-up or thumbs-down rating of the mood across the entire bakery when you arrive at, say, the main index screen. That way you know as soon as you log on whether today is a good day to submit your idea proposing industrial and commercial uses for mouse fart gas. |
|
| |
I think a good barometer of the mood of the bakery might be already be available by checking the tone of [UnaBubba]'s latest anno : ) |
|
| |
doesn't the chart in the link have an inverted y-axis? That would make February's spike a sudden influx rather than recession. ...later... ah, mistake noted - it looks like it is a relative ranking, not a hit rate. |
|
| |
I just linked to a view that shows you the "spread" of votes on the ideas that have been posted in the last 3 days, is that something like what you want? |
|
| |
badgers: Alexa is actually charting popularity ranking (took me a while to figure out what it was, too), so lower numbers are better. po: mid-February, the HB was ranked by Alexa as the 100,000th most visited site on the Internet. Late February, it was ranked 14,000th most visited. I think.
krelnick: doesn't capture votes for older ideas. |
|
| |
sorry, still don't get it. mid-feb was 100,000 what? |
|
| |
did it have anything to do with the fact I was on half-term holiday? HB was down one weekend about then BTW. |
|
| |
[krelnik] Thanks fer the link. It is helpful, but I was thinking more along the lines of what [Canuck] said. Something that shows the overall altitude; like the alexa link, only small enough to fit just below the croissant. |
|
| |
Re [Rayford]'s comment earlier: I've been thinking more about it, and have decided that it probably should not be in the default view, but available as an option. That way, newbies and other transient ones (who are, let's face it, more likely to abuse the system than the regulars) wouldn't be as likely to find it and use it for nefarious purposes. |
|
| |
//doesn't capture votes for older ideas//
The idea here says it is interested in "current idea quality", I assumed that meant ideas recently posted. |
|
| |
You could probably get overall voting from that, but you'd have to do some work. Edit that filter to remove the time restriction (click edit, then uncheck the first check box at the top). Then run it repeatedly over time, and calculate deltas on the results you get. That would give you some idea of recent voting trends, though the numbers would be messed up a bit by ideas being deleted. |
|
| |
Oh, I agree it's about as close as you can get with the material available, but galuka calls for "the votes for all ideas in the last ___ hours", which is much more of a market sentiment indicator. |
|
| |
Then again, he also says it will measure "current idea quality," which I think your statistics do. |
|
| |
I was going for something that would measure the trends over the last day or so (hence the 'last ___ hours' part), but include the present state as well, perhaps with a Dow Jones-style number (e. g., 1065.83, up 5.39). |
|
| |
//I think your statistics do// |
|
| |
Yes, they do, but it's a little tricky to figure. Despite all my math education, I don't know how to calculate deltas (unless delta is just another name for something I do know). |
|
| |
the delta between A and B is B minus A |
|
| |
I'll invest in 200 shares of HBIA:BFRO.SV.B. This one's about due for record gains. |
