@vigornian somewhat – though if you look at tag usage at Amazon, say, it’s next to useless. I like the concept too, but…

@vigornian yes, sorry, me too – thanks gents!

@vigornian maybe but tags always lack convergence due to user variability. We already have subject data now, derived from library databases

@vigornian @purserhallard but w/o being a full social network thing. Tho we tried 1-liners in 2006 and they weren’t used much

@vigornian @purserhallard (I’m pondering ways WSIRN cd have extra features while retaining core simplicity eg stars + maybe 1-line reviews)

@purserhallard it does indeed

@vigornian hm, not sure users would ‘get’ 7. Is there a reason why ‘out of 10’ doesn’t appeal?

@purserhallard I know of a start-up rival which seems to think having half stars is a major way to improve on GR #shrug

@purserhallard @vigornian ta both. Do you find star ratings meaningful/helpful?

@vigornian @purserhallard on this theme, out of interest (for obv reasons), what do you like/use most at GR (or LT if using)?
