Nice concept, but I'm a little unsure of two things: what is the difference between section and related, and what does the 1day pulldown mean at the top of the page?
- avaku 13y agoOnce you select a section, you can cross it with a different section. For example, select "Countries" and in related "Disasters". The reason it's called related, is because it's conditional on your first selection. 1 day pulldown allows you to choose different summarization period. You could for example choose 3 days, and section "Countries - Europe" - that would select top news for you within the last 3 days, arranged by countries in Europe. Any ideas how I can make this clearer?
- sfrechtling 13y agoThanks - that clarifies it. Would I be right in thinking its a visual way of doing faceted search? If so, maybe the issue is the word "related" - not sure what the best option would be. Possibily 'topic' and 'subtopic'? For the day pulldown, the first thought to come to mind is that it is dependant on the specific search being performed - and not global across all searches.
- avaku 13y agoYeah, possibly "Topic" and "Subtopic" is a good idea, but not sure how this will work for a general user. The dropdown - it should work like you say, I just didn't have the time to implement it that way - nor position it better on the page. The thing is that I can apply this auto-classification to anything. Can also create custom categories for any text collection. Any ideas for potential applications?
