We recommend Firefox 3, although the site supports a lot of browsers and will work fine in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2+, Opera 9.5+, or Safari 2+, and Chrome.
We do. To read about what’s happening on Likexo, visit our blog at http://blog.likexo.com.
Browse or search an item and click "Add to my list" button on a list of items. When you click "Add to my list", the button text will change to "Remove from list".
You can also add items by clicking the "Add to my list" button in the specific item page. The item now may be editable by yourself.
Likexo allows you to add any item you want. You only need to click "Create Item" button, and just follow the wizard. Remember that is not recommendable to create duplicate items. (see: Points and Categories)
To remove an item from your list, click "Remove from my list" button. This button appears in the list of items and in the specific page of an item when you have it.
To modify an item, first of all, you need to have that item on your list. Next, in the item page you will have an edit link in each item field, where a lightbox window will appear if you click it. This window will give you the explanation you need to add/remove/edit a field.
In the case you are the only user that has that item, the modification will be immediately applied; otherwise the modification will be a pending one; all users of that item will vote for the modification you want to make. Remember that It’s not recommendable to modify an item if you are not sure of it. (see: Points and Categories)
It’s a modification over an item that more than one user have on their lists. This type of modification needs to have more positive than negatives votes to be approved and then applied. A pending modification that not cumulates positives votes to by approved is discarded.
The users have a time to make their vote. Past this period, the pending modification is closed, and the vote counting is made. Meanwhile, if the pending modification negative or positive vote count is unreachable be the other count, this modification is close immediately.
In the item page all pending modification are listed; you only have to decide for a positive or a negative vote. Remember that your decision is important for the modification appliance, so be careful about what you decide.
When a pending modification is made over an item, at the end of the day an email will be sent to you with all the modifications made on your items. Also when you go to an item page, you can see the pending modifications of that item listed ready to be voted :-)
When a modification is closed, an email also will be sent to you to inform the result of the voting.
This is a beta application and we are getting fun with different proof of concepts over graphic interface and usability.
In the future this could change… or maybe not. :-)
Get Likexo recommendations is really easy. Likexo builds contextual recommendations, and you just don’t need to do nothing to get them. :-)
If you visit an item, an user’s profile or your own profile, you should see a box with items that Likexo will recommend to you.
Likexo recommendations change every time when you and other users improve profiles and items list. If you often use Likexo, probably Likexo will get more knowledge of you, and may build better recommendations.
Also, we are permanently fixing and improving recommendation algorithms, so recommendations change is really a good thing! (It’s evolution baby!)
For get better recommendations, you should add all the items you really like, rank them, comment them, tag them, and modify them (for better item information).
Tip: It’s important to rank also the items that you don’t like. If Likexo knows the items that you don’t like, it will know you better and gets better recommendations for you.
