I see lots of people giving a full 5 stars. Would results be better if people were more accurate, giving 3.5; 4; 4.5 or 5 stars? What happens if you ask people to rate 10 movies with either a thumbs up or thumbs down? Would that give better results? It's quite interesting, although I could see more use for it as part of other websites. EG: dating websites could use the tech to match people? Good Luck though! |

Well, we will see how things evolve. You are correct in that it seems like people are more likely to give 5/5's than lower ratings; but I guess that's just one way of matching people: they can be similar in their way of rating things (they could love everything or be big time haters), deegr will match them. Also, it's not like we can't interpret ratings over 3/5 as thumbs-ups and lower ratings as thumbs-down; we can still change, only time will tell us what the best scale is. As of now, the current system seems to do a great job.
And yes, of course, we're thinking a lot about implementing it on other websites; we're already working on an API ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
