Michael -- we are listening! We've been very busy lately planning some big new features ... apologies if you have not be able to get the responses you desired.

Can you please provide a little more information on what you are trying to accomplish and then we can discuss potential best solutions? I'm still a bit confused as to what it is you want to achieve.

Jason Goldberg replied on March 12, 2009 08:41 to the question "Is SocialMedian passing my email address onto spammers?" in socialmedian:

Apologies.

Here is the situation. Last week we had an unfortunate bug in which your email could be seen in the HTML source in a certain scenario on one of our pages. Most likely, some email sniffing script/bot would have got this email address and now is sending spam on this email. The bug has been fixed but in this case the spammer already has your email address.

It would be best for you to:
a. Set your gmail filters to mark all mails sent to this
socialmedian email address of yours as spam.
b. change your email address that you use for socialmedian under our "Settings" tab.

Very sorry about this. We believe we have fixed the bug. If any other users are encountering the same, please let us know ASAP.

What is the news network you are referring to?

Jason Goldberg replied on November 18, 2008 06:59 to the question "Why does liking and disliking an article auto-clip it for me?" in socialmedian:

Thanks for the comment Charles.

For the first implementation of this we thought that it would be best to auto-clip any user activity. Clipping a story just lets other people know that you think the story is worth checking out. Saying that you "dislike" a story means that you expressed an opinion on it, which we felt would be good to share with others.

We will continue to review this as we learn from user feedback.

Thanks

Jason Goldberg replied on November 07, 2008 19:45 to the question "How do I search for a story?" in socialmedian:

We'll also be adding search for stories in the next couple of weeks. Working on that now. As Thomas notes, we currently have search for networks. Search for stories soon.

Jason Goldberg replied on November 04, 2008 00:48 to the question "Old articles need to die and not be resurrected by commentators." in socialmedian:

Our time stamp for activities shows the most recent user activity, not when the story was entered onto socialmedian. We will make it easier though for you to filter read vs. unread in the near future. Sorry about the confusion.

Jason Goldberg replied on November 04, 2008 00:47 to the question "Old articles need to die and not be resurrected by commentators." in socialmedian:

deadly_risk: Help us understand a little better what you would like to do here. Do you want stories to not get to your homepage once you have already read them? We will enable those sort of filters in the coming weeks. By philosophy though we don't remove stories.

Jason Goldberg replied on November 03, 2008 20:14 to the idea "Filters needed" in socialmedian:

This is something we have been doing a lot of work on. Expect to see major progress in this area in the next couple of weeks.

How can I test the socialmedian election widget?

Is there a way to test the socialmedian election widget on my blog?

Jason Goldberg replied on September 25, 2008 13:55 to the idea "Explanation of noise level, volume and topics." in socialmedian:

Hi Rob. Thanks for asking this question.

Here's a quick summary.

When a user creates a news network they set a "primary topic" and then choose some "related topics."

The person who created the news network can set the initial default volume for the network.

LOW volume means that only results which contain the primary topic will be shown.

MEDIUM volume, which is the default, looks for relevant combinations of the primary topic and the related topics, giving more weight to better matches of both and proximity of terms and other info we know about relationships between like terms/concepts.

HIGH volume will return results which contain any single of the related topics or primary topic. All it takes is one match on any term for the story to appear under high volume.

Since Twitter tweets can be very noisy, we also only include tweets in MEDIUM if more than one person has clipped the tweet. All relevant tweets are included in HIGH. Only popular tweets on the exact primary topic are included in LOW.

While the individual who created the particular News Network sets the initial volume level, each member of that News Network can also set their own volume level.
