My Question for Fukushima Visualization Designers

Last Sunday, I attended an interesting session rather a discussion panel by @MarianSteinbach and @konnexus at UXCamp Europe on the topic “Does Information Visualization help in Fukushima?”. The major things under discussion was ‘How the current visualization lack in usability?’, ‘Difficulty in understanding the visualization’, ‘Radiation units used were confusing’, ‘How these visualizations helped/not helped in making decisions’ and so on. But I wanted to ask a question to the designers who already did the visualizations and those who going to do the better visualizations; to understand the purpose of such exercise.

Rating Recipes with Stars

In my latest project I’m working with a platform where the core content is cooking recipes. It’s more aimed at cooking enthusiasts and hobby chefs primarily.

In the platform the users have to rate recipes others have posted. Why do we need a rating system? When you are given with 100s of books, movies, products‚…, you need some measure to select one or more from the pile. People uses rating as a common tool for this. On websites it has become a democratical way to decide what content or product is of higher quality.
