Share & Enjoy
by M3
Imagine a search engine without robots… where the user opinion is the main relevance… And all indexed links are shared by users and open to everyone… Where you can subscribe to topics (searches) and share the links that you enjoy!
Share & Enjoy should allow you to bookmark Links while sharing then with the world creating your own search engine, at the same time!
This project has two pages: search => search/list links the search is suppose to filter links from user by the “@user” term the user page is nothing more then the search for “@user” and you can subscribe to any search. The subscribed searches are called “Hot Topics”.
share => view a link in a modal where the user navigate on the original site, and share it at any time. When clicking the Share menu you go to this same page but without an iframe.
We also wanted to index links from RSS Feed but this was not implemented, I had no experience with node before this project so it is full of bugs and I consider this a pre-alpha version which i may continue depending on the feedback.

The search is working for terms on the title but not for @user.
You can “login with facebook” and share a link and sharing without login is also working. It is bugging when you try to share a link that is already there.
The tags and hot topics are not implemented yet.

therazorbladejudgeMaybe I’m not getting it, but how is this better than just sharing links on Twitter or Facebook directly? Why would this community provide better search results than the entire web?

The project is incomplete, but the idea is that when you share a a link it is automatically published in your facebook, when somebody else shared the same link its gets enjoys +1 so it became more relevant.
The links shared here are open to every one not only to your friends, and instead of following people you can follow the topics you like.

But the problem is that everyone has to use the same tool. One way to improve this is to wrap the link in a short-url or similar service and track the different origin headers you get when people click on it, then use that as additional input to how many places it is shared from.

judgeI love the idea, and it’s overall something I would consider using if it was more fully implemented. I encourage you to run with this after the competition is done!
Design sadly does it little justice, and feels like something out of the early 90s. I feel as though I must dock completeness; e.g, “sharing a link that’s already there is buggy”, etc.

thanks :)
We plan to make this project much better in future

contestantI’m probably missing the gist of the project, but seems like you wanted to build a social-enabled recommendation engine. Booting such a thing off requires content or there will be no traction with the users. Needs more refinement in concept and execution.

codepo8judgeThis is a bit like delicious, but it doesn’t work and changes the web sites you watch later on. I’d have expected a browser extension to make it easy to share links, right now this is tough to use.

contestantI would likely never put a proxy in front of my site only for share links. It does look decently complete, but the design on the main page could be a lot better.

contestantMaybe I missed the point.
I like the idea. Although it’s only a slight twist on other link-sharing sites, it could have legs. Needs work, especially in terms of design.
