RE: Engagement away from home

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I know I am super appreciative of the comments given to me and I do make an effort to leave at least a few comments a day on the posts of others but I have to admit that it is among my circle of friends. Although, I upvote a wider circle. Time is always the factor. Another factor that might be interesting to study is the length and original content in each comment. I get a lot of 'nice picture(s)' on posts that were more than just a picture. Should we consider qualitative measures of comments as well as quantitative?

Nothing wrong with this at all, I guess it depends how many friends you want :)

We should, but it is easier said than done.

Any ideas on how to do this, (other than just discounting 'nice post', and 'upvote plz sir') would be appreciated :)

Word count would give you an idea, and I think (don't know) spam detector software would weed out posts that were too similar. Also whether the comment was responded too and how many times. Quality comments usually get responded to and a thread is created with more than two entries.

I think the above would definitely help guide, but there are always anomalies. I think quality is in the eye of the reader, and that's really tough to assess with code.

That's a very good point, we need to check the combination of quality along with the quantity. But how do you define quality, just by removing common words or there should be a length of the comments or it can be no two comments by an author should be exact copy.
