“Building Web Reputation Systems” by Randy Farmer and Bryce Glass
Interested in learning more about reputation systems? Then Building Web Reputation Systems (O’Reilly, 2010) is for you. Written by experts who designed Web communities for Yahoo! and other sites, it shows you how to design and develop a reputation system for your own site or application in the vein of the systems found on such sites as Amazon.com, eBay, Slashdot, and Xbox Live.
You’ll discover why reputation systems are critical to sites that depend on users for content, how to encourage first-class contributions, how to filter less-than-stellar contributions, and how best to engage and reward contributors.
