Collaborative filtering too. http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/ViewDot
When the list of ideas gets long enough, collaborative filtering will be useful too. There's some vaguely related discussion here. [syost, Mar 30 2000, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)







       Positive and negative votes should be allowed too. Then an idea with a score of 12 is generally thought to be pretty good; One with a score of -35 is thought to be terrible; One with a score of 0 is either too boring for anyone to comment on or has an equal number of positive and negative votes.

       ++vote;

       With both positive and negative votes, we could use the ratio pos/(pos+neg) as a measure of how "baked" an idea is. The closer an idea is to exactly half-baked, the more controversial it is.

       Excellent idea! You'd want to rank ideas by the total number of votes too, as an idea which has 3 pos and 3 neg is arguably less half-baked than one which has 15 pos and 15 neg.

       Not sure if more than one vote type is the way to go; that would take away from the simplicity that makes halfbakery so attractive. Maybe just "I liked this" and "I didn't like this" or somesuch.

       I think the first might have been "halfbakery channel" -- jutta did that an incredible one day after it was suggested.

       ...and currently leading the pack for ideas that aren't HalfBakery modifications: The domain for www.mail-a-car.com now exists and is registered to tomierna. In no time at all we'll be able to email our fellow-motorists.

       If I mailbomb some butthead who cuts me off, will his car crash?

       I dunno if anybody else ever caught it, but I was greatly amused by MS using 'wince' for the name of one of its operating systems...

StarChaser, Oct 22 2000
  

       They should make a spin-off called 'doors'. Or I should.

       So - it's all ronan's fault

thumbwax, Feb 09 2003
  

       thumbwax beat me to it :)

po, May 24 2003
  

       I don't get it...isn't that what the fish and pastries are for?

simonj, Aug 15 2003
  

       What happened to *cough*? Can anyone tell me? He must've disappeared while I was in my cave...
