the top 10 stories of RELEVANT are shown on the map and in the footer.
As they scroll through the footer, they eventually reach the 10th story. How do we want to go about loading more stories? Just load more (so that we currently have 20 bubbles on the map) and simply re-adjust all the bubble sizes?
Bubble sizing is complicated. Should the bubble sizes be a function of the story's score (which is calculated based on their relevance, irrelevance, time, etc), or should the number 1 story always be a certain size, number 2 always be a certain size, etc? The former method would be way better, in my opinion. It more accurately represents the size/score of the story. However it's a lot more of a nightmare to nail down. It's a complicated function. What i'm doing now: the bubble sizes are a function of how many stories are being displayed in the region.
