Mar. 18th, 2009 02:40 pmОдин американский дедушка, которому за 80, хиппи и мыслитель, прислал мне (и куче другого народа на его mail list) небезинтересный e-mail о комментариях в New York Times. Он обращает внимание на комментарии ко вчерашней колонке Давида Брукса The Commercial Republic - NYTimes.com
А дальше он объясняет: "The NY Times offers a real service with their display of comments on Opinion pieces. You can sequence the comments in any of several ways: chronologically, or by the reader rating (registered by the reader's option to approve or withhold approval), or by the NYTimes editorial board selection (which they tell you are based on "highlight[ing] the most interesting and thoughtful comments that represent a range of views."
I checked their selection out, myself, and observed that the editorial board recommendations were generally supportive of what Brooks had written, but only one of them had a reader approval count of more than a hundred. In contrast, the really high reader approval ratings went to the following half-dozen comments, and you can see how many approvals each of them actually scored, as well as getting a good taste of the reader response...
