When I searched for my own account, it didn't show up. When I searched for a topic, it showed me a user with the same name as the topic. When I did find some users claimed to be experts, I found their mood over the year and the main link was to a HN comment of them.
I am not sure how to use this, what makes a user a domain expert?
It's all kinda confusing.
- lettergram 8y agoI only show accounts that were active in the past year (in the subreddits it’s tracking). Do you have examples of the errors? I’d love to try and figure out the issue. Regarding a domain expert it’s identified by the terms a person uses and related terms people are interested in. The learn more section might help clear some of that up.
- wingerlang 8y agoNot tracking all subreddits makes sense I guess. But I searched for "Jailbreak". But got a user with that username. Searching for "ios programming" shows me some guy wyager and the discussion link is to HN, not reddit.
- lettergram 8y agoThanks for the heads up -_- The full blown system creates what I call "metaprofiles" merging profiles across various domains. Basically, it can identify people based on conversation (regardless of username or domain). One thing I do, is create these "metaprofiles" and will return the first linked account. Apparently, I forgot to add a "data source" as an input to the function, thus you may get some of the cross profiles.
