gwho Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 It would be nice to search podcasts by category or topic or tags.For instance, if you really dig anarchy, you could search that tag and get the results 1,2,64,65,131,203,563,591,803....if you dig personal freedom relationships, you'd get results...if you tag "state", you might get anarchy results plus some more that deal with criticism of the state.philosphy, religion, call in shows, women, feminism, economics, movie reviews... and my other favorite: interviews and management.I started to do a spreadsheet, but i'm not really keeping up with it all. I think it woudl be best to do it crowdsourced, or wiki style, where everyone puts tags. on, and someone checks and approves them....I imagine you would need to actually add those tags onto the podcasts, which may involve some complicated migrating... But you don't need an actual filter and search directly from the webpage. a referenced spreadsheet is that can be filtered with simple excel filters is good enough and more than does the trick. This alone would be valuable. It really is just a low-tech bypass for searching and filtering. There could be a public google docs, or we could make something on wikia.Later, it could be integrated as an actual page on the FDR website, perhaps still leaving it free to edit.It seems like a worthwhile project.
gwho Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 it would also be cool if each user could mark and track their favorites.And then use that aggregate data to do a live ranking of community favorites...And do the same for play count and clicks(hits). Have this be public visible info to further give listeners queues into which podcasts other people found good. more transparency, more information, more perfection competition, more reviews!
