Social proof of Scrapbox page

A social proof approach to the problem of not knowing which one to call when there are 10,000 pages, saying “what others mention is what is worth mentioning”.

• I don’t think “others” is “all mankind.”
  • Because they’ll choose some juicy entertainment news or a fishing story that makes everyone want to say a few words.

Find links from other people’s projects to your own

• A quick thought, “who has dozens of links.”
  • It should be a more reliable link than someone who only links to one.
    • Proof that this is not a first-time visitor who came in through social networking buzz.
  • In the first place, you’re pretty much selected as an early adopter by being a “heavy Scrapbox user” compared to Twitter buzz and the like.

Search pages viewed by humans are ordered by new arrivals or PageRank, depending on settings.

• With the API, parameters can be used to determine which one to use.
• https://scrapbox.io/api/pages/sta/search/query?skip=0&sort=pageRank&limit=30&q=%2Fnishio
• Use this API to collect from multiple projects, bundle them together, and sort and display them in order of most mentions.
  • A set of mention links for each person is also included.
  • Looks interesting.

I’ll show this to someone visiting the project for the first time, “How about this article for starters?” is that this is a good one.

• Or the author will further select from this list
• Because it is more likely to be “the seed of a useful discussion”.
• The current Scrapbox, at least for this project of mine, sorted by PageRank, does not work at all as a “list of recommended pages to look at first”.
  • Many pages do not function independently.
  • Most Viewed is better, but this is more “Twitter Buzz”.
  • Would it be nice if something like “number of mentions across projects” existed as an official feature?
    • No, well, but writing 10,000 pages by yourself is a use case far removed from the core of the official’s expected use case.
    • If it is used as groupware in an organization, should the “list of recommended pages for new team members to read” be maintained manually?
    • Groupware for groups loosely connected by strong related interests without internal or external organizational boundaries
      • Associations Smooth Society and Its Enemies.
