Abstract

When analyzing the online comments on some platforms, their perceived importance / accuracy and/or relevance relative to a location is quantified using two variables: the Gratitude – Appreciation Points(in case of amfostacolo.ro) and the score. While the score should be the real, value, the Gratitude– Appreciation Points represents the social correction of that value. The research base was the travel comments website Am Fost Acolo / I Was There(amfostacolo.ro), which is a Romanian site where you can gather and where you can post holiday impressions, you can watch pictures, you can see and compare deals and can make bookings.
