Designing design thinking driven operations
56
I blog about strategic and tactical service design and management. Trying to explore how service design practices develop. With a focus in developing strong conceptual work, supporting design decisions on research and enabling readers to create conversations with clients, colleagues and customers. I also aim to support senior managers and professionals to reflect and improve their practices.

In a recent post for The Atlantic, Derek Thompson investigates what drives people to read content online. As a writer for a popular news site, it’s of interest to Thompson to find out what people are clicking on and why when navigating through the endless amount of web content available. Though it sounds like a boring study of analytics at first, his findings and references are actually super interesting.

This is a guest post Ally wrote for business2community.com where she comes back on what makes the difference between popular and relevant and how we've been forced to make a choice between the two before.


The good news is that with content curation becoming not only mainstream but also interest-based this is no longer the case (as Nick Peachey also recently explained in an interesting comparative analysis).


We can now have our cake and eat it.

Therese Torris's curator insight, Today, 4:49 AM

My take : Popularity brings more popularity in a not always virtuous circle

Link to the original post in The Atlantic http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/06/the-tyranny-of-most-popular-lists/276847/

See my slideshare about content inflation and the tyranny of rankings of all sorts http://www.slideshare.net/ttorris/facing-contentinflationslideshow

every filtering being a list, a ranking or content curation comes with its own type of discovery bias. popularity is very powerful because we're deep down gregarious people. We want to know what others think. 

Murray McKercher's curator insight, Today, 8:09 AM

This is very interesting...
