Yes, but hard to do at scale. Is it truly valuable? Dunno.</p>Taylor DavidsonWed, 22 Jul 2009 16:23:46 -0000http://brooksjordan.name/2009/07/21/likes-and-loves/#comment-13119557<p>Lolzz</p>viicOopWed, 22 Jul 2009 13:36:07 -0000http://brooksjordan.name/2009/07/21/likes-and-loves/#comment-13114835<p>Are you one, too, viicOop?

It's algorithmic scoring of the value of a bit of content, using social input, in real-time.</p><p>But that's an unnecessarily geeky way to say it.</p><p>Now, imagine:<br>- a similar system for any type of content<br>- if the chart was customized for me based on the same inputs but their relation to me; possible to compute, but incredibly hard to execute at scale</p>Taylor DavidsonWed, 22 Jul 2009 01:44:26 -0000
