This is a strong critique. If voting inevitably drifts toward factional reinforcement, is there any interface you’ve seen that resists that drift? I’m curious to know which product or feature you think solves this the best.
Thanks for sharing that. I hadn’t heard of Zest before and it mirrors some of the user interface designs I’ve been working on.
Did you use Zest? What aspects of it worked well or failed in practice? It’s cool that some of the work ended up in Google Wave. I always thought that was an amazing product, I was so sure it was going to replace email and then it ended so abruptly.
