A blog on social software, collaboration, trust, security, privacy, and internet tools, by Christopher Allen.

One of the slashdot posters in the Puppy Smoothies thread recommended this blog, which is a combination of very intelligent posts on internet rating/reputation systems and startup financing. Excellent.

I just happen to be investigating various software tools that support rating, ranking, and/or reputation, and when I arrived here I found my blog mentioned at the top ;-)

I'm in-progress on a long article on "Collective Choice: Reputation Systems", the longest yet of my Collective Choice articles. Biggest problem finishing it is that reputation is very tangled with other problems: all problems with identity systems are also in reputation, most trust problems are in reputation, as well as many of the issues in rating and ranking that I've already identified in previous articles.
