Introducing Publisher's Corner

What is Publisher's Corner?
Publisher's Corner is the source of weekly reports on nobosh's top 30 publishers. You'll find algorithmically-produced reports of each publisher's originality, visibility, popularity, and overall noboshness based on the stories they put out in the previous week. Intended for users and publishers alike, these reports are quintessentially nobosh - no editorial adjustment, no playing favorites with certain publishers, just pure and simple data that's relevant to you.

Publisher's Corner

Statistics include:
Originality: The Originality statistic represents the frequency with which our publishers were first to break a particular story. The publisher that is first to issue a story on say, Fox acquiring Digg, for example, will earn extra points over publishers who follow with similar stories.

Popularity: The Popularity statistic assesses the degree to which a publisher's stories have received a warm reception among the nobosh community members. The Popularity stat takes into account over a dozen factors (e.g., user reputation, nobosh votes) to obtain the final percentage.

Visibility: The Visibility statistic represents the publisher's presence on nobosh. This stat is the percentage of stories contributed by any one publisher to the overall number of stories on nobosh.

noboshness: That je ne sais quoi that makes a story good - that's the overall noboshness! This statistic is the final summed factor which determines the ranks. It includes the Visibilty, Originality, and Popularity statistics.
