Maybe if the favouriteness could be transitive in some way? It could be called “favouriterank” and we could use it to index the web and surface the best pages when people search for things they are interested in?
- dang 6y agoThe original intention of the feature was to try to derive some interesting signal from collective usage (that's why HN favorites are public) so that's an interesting suggestion.
- gorgoiler 6y agoI confess: I didn’t write it in a particularly serious tone (pfff, “favouriterank” indeed — a comparison to the early days of a pre-monetized google.com) but behind it was a serious idea. I appreciate the charitable response.
