That is a cool idea. I would appear to always be here, though, since I just leave a tab open for SN.
Something like active stackers in the past 10 minutes might be a good proxy.
It would be nice if there was a green light to show you are active.
reply
What is “active”? Some folks just leave the tab open permanently, are they active?
reply
That's what I was getting at. It would probably just be something like whether the person did anything in the past 10 minutes.
reply
Yes, there are also the “mouse jugglers” that people use at work to leave the impression of activity. It seems to work, until they get caught at it and fired.
reply
I don't think SN is that invasively monitoring our activity. You'd have to do a SN thing like zapping, posting, or clicking on a link.
reply
I’m glad the SN doesn’t monitor too closely. That would make it an appurtenance of Big Brother. Then I would not be here at all.
reply
k00b is very driven to have SN record as little information about us as possible.
reply
That’s good. Does @k0b have any connections elsewhere?
You may want to leave it open for a little bit more time. Some of the articles are a long read. If it takes 15 minutes to read and article and decide it is worth posting, you would be off the ticker. Howeever, what there is now seems to be working fine.
reply
Good point. Some sort of short timeline that gives enough time to read, but still boosts visibility.
reply
How much do you need to boost visibility? It seems to me, either people are on the board or not. You can determine who you are interested in posting or commenting to by looking at the recency data.

Zaps push things higher up on the Hot and Top feeds. The Hot feed is personalized to you, based on your Web of Trust (i.e. Stackers like you already zapped it).
reply
Ohhh……….. Indiscriminate zapping has a really strong result, then. You see all sorts of kaka you may not want to see in your personalized hot feed. I guess @DarthCoin has the argument of the day, I just didn’t realize the extent that it affected me!
