How does the “right now” top ten work. Curious if it’s kinda like how you did top 10 before: a first act needed 25 qs before it could make the list. Is this the opposite? Like after 10 qs it’s off? Curious.

The algorithm looks at all the first acts that have fewer than 100 responses. (“Open” first acts, as they’re called.) Then it calculates the perplexity of all the responses they have received in the last seven days. Then it displays them in descending order of that perplexity.

So if a first act had 14 skips no questions, but then in the last seven days it had 7 questions and no skips, it would lead the “right now” pack with 100 in its tally.

I love the updates and snappier performance. My top 3 favorites are:
1. Search: Say no more!
2. Comments: I like to offer praise or constructive feedback to other users. I hope that people use it respectfully.
3. My Questions: I’m especially looking forward to using this feature for going back and finding first acts in which I asked questions, but forgot to bookmark.

Thanks for taking all the feedback from us and using it to make improvements. Great job! I feel my 101qs.com addiction flaring up again!

Dan, what does the “participation” heading under Profile indicate. Right now, mine says 1+ ?

Thanks for the bug report. Eventually that will list the total of your questions asked and skips. Right now everyone shows “+1” for some reason.

Awesome work on the improvements. Love the new Top 10 lists. Some of the best videos had become buried before.
