Open sourcing is in this is not about the implementation or the CS algorithm. It is more about transparency. I think the idea is that the public should know how tweets are ranked, why tweets show up in timelines and which timelines, what makes tweets popular etc. Imagine Google publishing a document detailing how their system ranks pages aka publishes internal SEO rules officially. I don't know if it is a good idea or not. People with enough resources might be able to game the system (if they don't do it already).
- Traster 4y agoThe only change is that people with resource would stop guessing how to game the system, and start employing people to ensure they systematically game the system.
- rootusrootus 4y ago> if they don't do it already That's an interesting point. A practical description of the algorithm from the perspective of someone trying to game it may be more useful than anything Twitter or Google would release.
