Experimenting with rating for blog posts

gretavo's picture

Trying out this new system... 3 stars now instead of 10 or 5... Generally speaking--

3 stars= positive impression
2 stars= ambivalent
1 star= negative impression

The more people vote the better, and this simple rating system might make it easier to decide what vote to give...

Floor is open for critiques...

how about

4 stars, like movie ratings. 1 = time waster, 2 = some redeeming value, 3 = definitely worthwhile, 4 = a must-read. the 10 stars don't work, as witnessed by the 911b system, 5 is going to work much the same as 10, and 3, who does a 3 star system? 4 seems to be the most universally accepted system for restaurants, hotels, books, music, etc.

it's not very funny :(

and the point it's trying to make is wrong. that if you understand that AA77 or any other 757 did not hit the pentagon then you should also believe that no 757 hit the twin towers. that's so silly its wrong, or so wrong its silly. Take your pick! And damn did he peg me with the bus boy character!! I actually did work in a dishroom my first year in college before I wised up and got a credit card... :)
