We use many dozens of signals to determine venue quality, not just raw number of check-ins.
And there's definitely manual rules for offices, homes, airports, and other categories that receive disproportionate numbers of check-ins.
- rdl 14y agoAwesome (the product works pretty well for me, at least in the Bay Area; not so great in Hawaii yet). Please don't be tempted to go down the "extort small businesses" path that Yelp seems to, though.
- ianstallings 14y agoAny chance those rules will be revealed? Or is this your secret sauce? I heard you guys had to move offices during the hurricane to further up in midtown. Were you rolling this out during that move?
- jorgeortiz85 14y agoI expect we may reveal what kinds of things we take as good signals, but the exact recipe will probably remain a secret sauce. Even if we don't, most of the components are really quite obvious: what kinds things would people do if they really liked or hated your business? Those are the kinds of things we're measuring. Yeah, our SoHo office had no power for almost all of last week. We managed to find temporary office space in Midtown to work out of. Most of the work for venue ratings was done before the storm though. We've been testing the product internally for a few weeks now. That said, a lot of people were getting work done even from our displaced office space.
