User suggested reading lists

7 May 2009

The more the content grows it is becoming harder to find good stories.

Might it be possible to create lists of stories attached to a user that allow folks to "recommend" a set of stories. I would think each list would be:

o have a name and a description
o public or private
o never include stories by that author
o have a rating similar to a story (so that the best lists can peculate to the top).

Just an idea. I've asked many folks for suggestions and they lose track of stories they like. There is no way to pull up the list of stories that you have rated and how you rated it either to track down ones you liked, that might be an idea as well.

Thanks!

That's a great idea, Ghost. I'd be happy to recommend what I read (as if anyone cares...), because I'd read others' recommendations. It gives me a starting point, as opposed to just random reading.

Some very good ideas in there Ghost.

I think it would be something that is easily incorporated into our all new profile areas, which I am beta testing today icon_smile

Um, did you mean "percolate"? That would at least be closer to what I think you mean. "Peculate" means "embezzle."

Are you sure?
