algorithm

Hi

I am thinking about tuning my vote_up_down based site into a bit more digg-like site. On Digg 50 votes per hour can outperform 500 votes per two weeks - it allows "hot" news to be pushed to the front page earlier. Can similar things be achieved with the help of voting_api?

1. I am thinking about attaching to every node, not only a "vote" counter, but also kind'a "internal priority" counter, that would be increased by user votes and decreased by time therefore making old votes less valuable.
