Lowell Goss replied on May 06, 2009 03:43 to the praise "Very happy" in LOUD3R:

No complaints? Wow! Well...let us know if there is something we can improve. BTW Which LOUD3R site are you using? We have more than 60 to choose from.

Lowell Goss replied on April 29, 2009 06:57 to the question "Thanks for the Link" in LOUD3R:

Green Earl,
We're happy to help. Thank you for the support.

Lowell Goss replied on April 27, 2009 22:52 to the praise "wicked" in LOUD3R:

Thanks for the compliment. Let's us know how we can make it even better.

Lowell Goss replied on February 21, 2009 04:54 to the idea "more images with posts" in LOUD3R:

There are a couple ideas in your post that we have been thinking about.

1. We're working to improve the way our image scraper works. We get lots of great photos, but we also miss photos.

2. Finding closely related images. I have a couple of ideas about how we can use topic and timestamp together to find great images that are very likely to be related to the post.

Lowell Goss replied on February 21, 2009 04:52 to the idea "loud3r badge" in LOUD3R:

Cool idea. Would you be willing to tag your content to make it easier to scrape? We're thinking about how we can work with publishers to better understand the structure of their content.

Lowell Goss replied on February 21, 2009 04:50 to the problem ""Economy Fix"" in LOUD3R:

Jack,
We'd love to see this idea expressed on the VOT3R site. http://www.vot3r.com

The economy needs fresh and creative ideas.

Hello Greg. I don't have a good answer to that question. It looks like it's the thumbnail selected for the video.

Lowell Goss replied on August 16, 2008 05:48 to the question "Why are there so many duplicate stories?" in LOUD3R:

Hmm. The LOUD3R platform finds stories from hundreds of sources. As you point out we find many articles that are essentially duplicates.

The screenshot below is from the front page of BUZZ3R. We found 10 stories about Google Android. From that group of stories we found the BEST story and display it first. The related stories are alternate versions of the BEST story.

In most cases we accurately detect and cluster duplicates stories together into a cluster. It's good, but not perfect. We are working on making it perfect.

Thank you for letting us know that you want to see the cluster creation and display improved. What else would you like to see improved in the next version?

Lowell Goss replied on August 12, 2008 07:04 to the question "I'd prefer direct linking to an article" in LOUD3R:

OK. This is a point we have debated quite a bit. Here are a couple questions.

1. We do have a direct link at the end of each description. Is this enough?
2. We are working to add more content to the comments page. What would make that page useful.

Thank you,
Lowell

Lowell Goss replied on February 20, 2008 17:56 to the idea "I'd like to see a one-line description of each site." in LOUD3R:

Thanks. We have a messaging system in the works. Should this just be on the front page? The first page of your visit?

Lowell Goss replied on February 20, 2008 17:55 to the discussion "Congratulations on the Loud3r beta!" in LOUD3R:

Thank you. What topics would you like to see us roll out next?

Lowell Goss replied on February 20, 2008 16:05 to the idea "I'd prefer if the body text was a bit smaller" in LOUD3R:

I found this suggestion to be very funny. After a career of being told the type is too small, I guess I may have over corrected. Thanks for the comment.

Lowell replied on February 20, 2008 15:56 to the idea "Automatically fill in my profile." in LOUD3R:

Great idea. Socializing the site is definitely an important next step. What else should we be doing to connect you to the outside world?

Did you register for http://fast3r.com or http://www.vot3r.com ?

Lowell replied on February 20, 2008 15:52 to the question "What determines "Most popular" in the ordering of news items?" in LOUD3R:

I thought you were going to ask about "Most Interesting". The Most Popular measure is an aggregate of user activity on LOUD3R for that news item. Clicks. Comments. Sharing.

A couple of questions.
1. Should we make that more transparent?
2. Do we need Most Popular and Most Interesting?
3. Should we continue with an implicit measure or should we go for something like voting where users have more apparent control?
