  • RANKING CONTENT USING USER FEEDBACK
    Publication number: 20120144413
    Abstract: A technology is described for ranking content using user feedback. A method can include presenting a content entry to a plurality of users to enable viewing of the content entry. Positive and negative ratings can be captured about the content entry from the plurality of users. A relative deviation value can be calculated using the positive ratings and negative ratings for the content entry to form a raw rating score using a processor. Another operation can be scaling the raw rating score via a power function to form a controversial rating score using a processor. The content entry may then be displayed in a ranked order with other content entries based on the controversial rating score.
