Here's a small update of what's happening (mostly behind the scenes) at ANN.lu. I rewrote most of the comments scripts last week, and apart from a few bugs already fixed and a few remaining glitches, it seems to work fairly well. The basic version of a trusted user system for signing comments also introduced last week seems to work well, although there's no frontend (or firm decision on how that should look) for general user registrations yet. I'm currently working on a "recently posted comments" script that does, in the first place, allow me to monitor comments more closely, and might later on be made available to trusted visitors or premium visitors (premium users being those who contribute(d) to ANN.lu in one way or another). As for visitor numbers, ANN has this month been serving approximately 12,000 pages a day to between 2000 and 2500 unique IPs in any 24 hour span.

Small update : Comment 19 of 21 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bob Smith on 20-Mar-2003 13:32 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (John Block): No, it is STILL a very bad idea which woudl acheive absolutely nothing positive whatsoever.
Think about it for a moment.
An anonymous-yet-trusted person posts some information which points to problems which will delay shipping of product X.
How the heck are we supposed to know whether this is a person involved with company X warning people something is going to go wrong, or someone from company Y spreading FUD, or even someone from company Z annoyed with company X and just being childish about it?
Answer - we can not know that, ergo any and every post from an anonymous-yet-trusted person is not believable, rendering the entire idea pointless. |
