More Usecases
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Time for more usecases! (continued from this post)
Ranking Links
Sally is an active member of the link ranking site. She goes there multiple times a day to check out new links about plate tectonics and moderate them, so she always has her login cookie set. When she goes to the homepage, she is presented the top links for the day.There is also a tag cloud that has the most popular categories.
She clicks on the most interesting link, “Daffy Ducks view of plate tectonics”, and visits it. She then uses the upper frame to moderate the link with a score of +1, she hits back and is returned to the homepage, the link she moderated is closer to the top of the list because of her moderation.
Note: There needs to be some sort of trust metric (advagato style?) for moderation of links. The interface must also be designed so it isn’t like reddit.com, it’s not a news site, just an index.
Reporting Dead Links
Sally then clicks on another link “Tectonic Plates of the ancient world” which brings her to a 404 page, shen then clicks the “report bad link” button on the top frame and selects “page not there anymore” from the dropdown menu.
