Decide which platforms to display in results views #55

Closed Abbe98 closed 3 years ago

Abbe98 commented 3 years ago

The results views will have one row for each organization where we want to display some icons to indicate if an organization has an account on one of the more common platforms. We probably want to support this for about 3-5 platforms which we need to pick.

Some canidates:

My intuition is that Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook will be those with highest coverage in Europe and North America. V Kontakte is large in countries where people understand russian. This site has some nice stats (also over time): https://vincos.it/world-map-of-social-networks/

Question: Should this be defined by country or would it add a lot more work than having the same choice globally?

Abbe98 commented 3 years ago

Initially, I think we should aim for a global choice but it should not be an enormous task to have it configurable in countries.rq (maybe as a way to override the default).

Abbe98 commented 3 years ago

This does not work globally but maybe we could compare a few different countries https://w.wiki/3enY

Nice! I noticed that LinkedIn was missing, so I fixed that.

Closing this, it can be reevaluated at a later stage.
