Really cool!
My results were
- 3 Dive 11 skim, 16 skip.
- 1 dive would have been a skim, 2 skim would have been a skip, 2 skim would have been a dive, 4 skips would have been a skim, 1 skip would have been a dive.
- Total mislabelled: 10, ~30% across and within each category.
Some thoughts:
- it's hard to get it right without a taxonomy of content. I wouldn't skim an essay (Conversations with a hit man). I either dive or skip.
- Skimming is also often a first check before diving, so the categorisation can be a bit artificial.
- I think "Would Read Later" could be an interesting signal/label, like bookmarks on Instagram.
