‘Claps’ is a really interesting idea an does indeed feel like a new dimension of information. But what is that information?
For example, are my five claps necessarliy showing less appreciation than someone else’s ten claps? If not, then the number claps a user gives doesn't really offer any extra inforamtion. If so, are claps then a ratings system? If a thousand people give you two claps each is it a ringing endorsement or a thousand people telling you that you article isn’t very good?
Anyway, it’s definitly cool to see inovation on how we show appreciation on the web.
