ameertawfik | I am doing an academic research about content usefulness in online forums. In order to have an understanding of content usefulness, i need to study whats makes users evaluate content as useful. | 08:36 |
---|---|---|
ameertawfik | in your opinion and through your experience in cnet: 1- What makes a useful post ( Initial or reply post)? 2- What makes a useful thread (The overall discussion)? | 08:37 |
ameertawfik | i have posted this question in ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1770676), but the respones were not that much | 08:38 |
ameertawfik | so, i was wondering if you could give me some feedback? | 08:39 |
ameertawfik | hi all | 08:50 |
ameertawfik | i have one question related to my study. the question is what are the characteristics of a useful thread or post? | 08:52 |

ZereF | hi hi | 16:07 |
ZereF | hey guys, i'm having trouble setting up a new grub script | 16:43 |
dipiwee | is there anyone around ? | 17:06 |
Pici | Perhaps... | 17:13 |
ZereF | sigh | 17:18 |
Pici | dipiwee: Why do you need a nick of a moderator here on IRC if you're going to pm them on the forums? | 17:25 |
dipiwee | Pici: i found no forum moderator on the forums.. | 17:26 |
ikonia | dipiwee: they are all listed | 17:26 |
dipiwee | it's a little easier to type in the nick | 17:26 |
dipiwee | and send a pm | 17:26 |
dipiwee | ikonia: i must be blind.. you don't have a link by any chance? | 17:26 |
ikonia | dipiwee: it's easy to send a pm to the person | 17:26 |
ikonia | http://ubuntuforums.org/showgroups.php | 17:27 |
Pici | dipiwee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showgroups.php | 17:27 |
ikonia | dipiwee: the big "show forum leaders" link at the bottom | 17:27 |
dipiwee | ikonia: thats great | 17:27 |
dipiwee | thanks alot | 17:27 |
ikonia | dipiwee: or if you click on the forum you want and scroll down to the bottom it lists all the moderators of that forum | 17:27 |
dipiwee | ikonia: the "question" is that i don't know where to post the topic i would like to create | 17:28 |
dipiwee | hence why im looking to pm a mod to ask where i should post that topic :D | 17:28 |
ikonia | what's the topic ? | 17:29 |
dipiwee | ikonia: off ubuntu topic.. | 17:29 |
dipiwee | I would post a link .. but if i do so in here i will be held guilty of promoting .. | 17:30 |
dipiwee | so i prefer posting it on the forum where a mod will let me post it | 17:30 |
ikonia | dipiwee: that's the coffee house thing | 17:30 |
dipiwee | basically its a dot sharing website | 17:30 |
ikonia | dipiwee: what's the actual topic | 17:30 |
dipiwee | so.. "dots" = configuration files. | 17:30 |
ikonia | dot sharing ? | 17:30 |
ikonia | what is dot sharing ? | 17:31 |
Pici | dotfiles | 17:31 |
Pici | ikonia: where people share things like .vimrc and .screenrc and .bash_aliases things like that. | 17:31 |
dipiwee | Pici: nope.. dotfiles has been "down" for a looong while now.. | 17:31 |
ikonia | ahhh | 17:32 |
ikonia | Pici: I'm clearly not cool, I've never heard of that | 17:32 |
Pici | dipiwee: I meant it as an example. | 17:32 |
dipiwee | Pici: sorry | 17:32 |
dipiwee | so .. if a topic could be posted on the forums about it.. would be awesome ! for people who enjoy "customizing" and great for the website aswell | 17:33 |
