| 20090199104 | IDEA COLLABORATION METHOD - A method of ranking user reputation in a multi-user network includes using a display interface to display various concepts for discussion to multiple users of the network. The method includes receiving, from a first registered user via a data interface, a discussion post and a ranking for one of the displayed concepts. Other registered users submit responses to the first registered user's discussion post, such that each response includes an indication of whether the response is positive or negative. The method includes determining, via a processing device, a reputation rank for the first registered user. The reputation rank calculation is based on a number of discussion posts received from that registered user, as well as a number of positive responses received from the other registered users for the first registered user's discussion posts. The method includes displaying the reputation rank to the registered users via the display interface. | 08-06-2009 |
