How is Attention Calculated?
NetNewsWire places emphasis on specific actions in order to determine how much attention you are paying to a particular feed. The following actions will change a feed's attention score:
- clicks
- flagging
- posting to weblog
- posting to delicious; and
- sending via email
Some actions count more than other things.
How can I change the Attention Score of a feed?
You can adjust the score for a feed using an AppleScript script. Here are the details from the AppleScript dictionary for NetNewsWire:
"scripted attention score (integer) : To affect the calculated attention score, you can change the scripted attention score. The scripted attention score is a component of the calculated attention score (it's added)."
The scripted attention score is a property of a subscription object. (Tip: to lower a score, make it a negative number.)
