I see a lot of 'entrepreneurs' who spend their time getting their fb friends to vote for them in local startup pitch competitions, they don't actually spend any time making a company, but are very effective at getting votes.
The HN community might just be a better barometer, hope to see this experiment work out and bring attention to worthy and unnoticed startups.
- godzillabrennus 11y agoI agree. Some kind of app that requires users to log in then randomizes what they can vote on.
- zaguios 11y agoYea, expanding on this the best way to get the best results is to actually give each post an elo score. Then when a user goes to look at two applications they can vote on which application they think is better and award / subtract elo like you would in any other case. This very quickly will let the quality applications rise to the top and cause the bad ones to fall by the wayside. Note that it's also important to constantly compare applications with similar elo scores. I've seen this done before and it's incredibly efficient.
