How not to undermine the reputation

When designing the interaction, the attention of the designer should be paid not only to the design of screen forms, their interconnection and compliance with the designed user goals and objectives, but also to the interaction of users within the designed system. This task is especially important when designing interaction within social services.

Recently there was an interesting update in the Yahoo template library. Now it is possible to find in it not only visual templates, but also templates for building a reputation model . The library describes in detail and with examples how to determine the type of such a model for its service, how to build a “career ladder” of users, what information participants want to see about other community members, etc. It is important that not only correct, but also erroneous ways of applying the principles described in the library are described.

Despite the recent upheavals in the life of Yahoo, the company is not locked in itself, but on the contrary, shares its findings with the rest of the world. Systematized information on building reputational models will be extremely useful for startups building their business model based on social interaction.
