Here is the my so called thread filter algorithm:
Step 0: Initialization: Book mark all the threads that you are interested. (If you are a fulltime worker and have less time at home on these extra curricular activities you should limit the number of threads to a max of 3 or 4.
If you are not full time employee, but have other business to take care off, then you limit your number of thread to 8 or so.
If you are fulltime trader and would like to rely on SI
for inputs try as much as 12 threads.
Beyond that your contribution or reading will be less productive)
Let us call the threads you selected T1, T2, .., Tmax where max
is the number of your limit.
Prioritize these threads according to your interest and importance. Book mark these threads in your profile.
Step 1: In each thread Ti, i=1 to max, select the number of trust and content worthy subscribers. This again cannot be a large list. Let these individuals be appended to a list for each thread.
Let us call these lists T1L, T2L, T3L, ..., TmaxL.
Here also you need to order the individuals according to your trust.
Step 3: Now select a thread among T1, T2, ..., Tmax and follow
Steps 4 and 5. If no more thread left (i.e you completed reading
the thread Tmax), then go to step 7.
Step 4: Select the first unread article by first memebr in the lists
TiL where i=1, 2, ...,max. Now click the From: field
where you find the person's SI name. This will take you to
that persons profile page.
Step 5: Now scroll down the profile page and start reading from the
oldest unread artcile that has the current thread you selected
in Step 3 as the thread name. Step one article at a time till
you complete all the article in this person's profile page
that is relevent to this thread.
Step 6: Now select the next person in your favourite list for this
thread and goto step 4. If all the persons exhausted go to
step 3.
Step 7. If you have more energy and patience read other junks in
thread in your narrow list (T1, T2, T3, ..., Tmax) by looking
untouched artciles.
Efficiency Disclaimer:
This algorithm does not guarantee you that you will be able
to see all the tips and rumours if you stop in Step 6. But will
allow you to have less guilt and avoid unnecessary war and family
fight. As time passes you won't feel that you missed somthing
because you did not read everything.
Algorithm 2:
A short cut approach.
Just have people marks in your profile for all the trust and content worthy contributors name and just go directly to those profile pages to read article rather than the above complicate steps.
All the best.

Disclaimers:
1) This algorithm or its inventor will not be held responsible for not getting benefit(s) from the artciles (or junks) that you missed in your favourite threads nor will give you right to sue through a vulture lawyer for the loss of information or monetory benefit due to missing missed artciles.
2) This algorithm can be without notice changed, revised or
rewrote at the sole discretion of the inventor with or without
prior notice or warnings to those use straight forward or lurkingly.
3) Any and all proceeds, material or otherwise should, gained
but not lost by the user MUSt be shared with inventor on a royalty
basis. The percentage of royalty will be set soley by the inventor
depending on how much gain you made. If you yearly gain is less
than $100,000 as a result you must pay the inventor 50% of the gain.
If your yearly gain is more than $100,000 and below $1,000,001 you must pay the inventor 25% of your gain. If your early gain is above
$1,000,000 you must pay the inventor 20% of the gain.
Mini disclaimer to disclaimer 3: These percentages can and will be
changed at the whim by the inventor as and when his lawyer feels
that we need to more money and we want to suck your life.
4) The inventor is reponsible only for the algorithm and
implementation of this algorithm on your machine or device(s) is your
own responsibility. Should you need further consulation, the inventor
will charge a flat fee of $5000 per hour with a minimum charge of
$100000.
5) This algorithm has been in the process of patent approval. Hence no body should ever attempt to think in this line or copy it.
If you do so our patent attorny and his uncle at the patent office
will try to see that you not only lose your shirt but also any life
there after.
6) Other disclaimers that we have not thought so far will be
appended in future withour any advance notice. |
