- I've used an exponential decay similar to the one used in HN, except much faster in decaying.
- Only tweets from today are shown.
- The rating of a tweet is determined by 2 factors: the number of retweets and the votes on TweetFad (retweets have a much smaller weight compared to votes).
- Users can add their content by simply including the hashtag '#TwtFad' in their tweets. To submit tweets to a particular category, the users can add #[category_name].
- For each category, I've added some influential twitter accounts and hashtags to monitor for tweets. These are automatically added to the listing if they have a retweet count greater than a threshold.
I would love to hear the comments and suggestions of the HN community. I'm a long time reader of HN, and this community has helped me learn a lot I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone here!
