Agreed. I'm actually interested to see how the ratio of likes:dislikes plays out for individual users. Thoughts?

Initially I would have agreed with you Baxter, but I'm now OK with a binary "like/dislike", as it is sufficient. in reality that translates to the 1 - 5 anyway ... 1 or 2 gets the dislike. 4 or 5 gets the like. 3 gets no response... which I'm really not interested in hearing from anyway. I want to know the opinion of those that got off the fence and either liked it or didn't.

Baxter, we hear ya. We just aren't convinced (yet). Thumbs-down is a big step forward for us and we'll continue to monitor and measure feedback from the users on the service.

Completely aside: have you seen this post from Youtube about the usage of the 5-star rankings on their site? http://youtube-global.blogs...

I'm sure by now that you're all fed up with me asking for this, but I've said from the launch that not every review of an item is going to be a positive one.

So can we please have a 1-5 star rating? :) At least 1 star doesn't seem as bad as a "thumbs down", which to me infers a zero rating, just as a "thumbs up" can only really mean a 5 - nothing less than that..

1-5 seems so much more flexible. Granular is the way to go, IMHO.

So you're saying thumbs-up to thumbs-down, huh?

I would normally agree...but I'm giving her a free pass in the month of September, lol.

Definitely. It will be available for all categories and in all places you can currently THUMB UP something within the product.

Fraser — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:05:34 -0000

lol. I hope you don't go overboard with the thumbs-down button when it launches. Remember - this world needs more positivity.

Re: Glue Labs: Thumb-down

Fraser — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:04:49 -0000

I don't have anything against her. Nadda.

Nicely done Mr Antonas - you are correct that these will not be displayed prominently in the profile; they're for fine-tuning suggestions.

Wait....What do you have against Megan Fox? ;-)

Jenny Mathis — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:52:16 -0000

Absolutely, I love giving a big thumbs down to any story with Jessica Simpson. So this would work great in my opinion! lol

Steffan Antonas — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:32:15 -0000

Thumbs up for thumbs down....! As long as you don't surface the accumulated thumbs down data in the profile as "hates" this'll be awesome. :) Anything that make the recommendations better over time is welcome with open arms.

J. Kaye — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:27:58 -0000

Yes! I wanna hear both sides.

From the picture shown, I think your implementation is perfect. It's subtle, not in your face, and definitely secondary to the "Like" button as it should be. I think you guys have nailed. I assume it's available for every category, not just music, tv, and movies?

Re: Glue Labs: Thumb-down

Shellie — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:02:15 -0000

I agree with J. Kaye....definitely need a thumbs down!

Well, the feature is not yet live (but it is coming in a future release). Glad to hear that you're excited about what's coming. Any feedback on the implementation of the option? Also, you are right - it's not being added so that people can go hog wild. It's for fine tuning suggestions and saying that certain things deserve a big thumbs down :)
