I am trying to measure the popularity of a message, but there is no current system that can do this, so I have to create it.
Can someone help me create a heuristic that measures the popularity for a message? I accept factors such as # answers, # views, publication age, sticky and non-sticky, etc., to play as a factor. I know that I ask a lot, because it is not an easy question to solve, but if someone can transfer me to an online resource to help me solve this problem, it would be very grateful.
