| design [2026/08/27 20:22] – design:platforms is written: update the page table, the counts (all 11 promised pages now written) and the cross-namespace fold note. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude | design [2026/08/27 22:44] (current) – Add Design:DNS row and cross-links; correct the stale 10/5/15 page-count annotation (none of those numbers matched anything on the page).

The four per-company platform pages [[start]] used to promise (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Amazon) were assessed against the corpus and **deliberately not written**; [[Design:Platforms]] carries the reasoning and the paper counts behind it. | **A namespace page outlines the pages inside it rather than carrying its own content.** (([[contributing]], "Namespace and page structure".)) **All 11** pages [[start]] promises here are now written, plus [[Design:DNS]], added on 2026-08-27 to give scan-branch DNS measurement a home of its own — [[Design:Automated measurements]] had been routing it to [[Security:TLS certificates]] and [[Design:IP classification]], which answer different questions. The four per-company platform pages [[start]] used to promise (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Amazon) were assessed against the corpus and **deliberately not written**; [[Design:Platforms]] carries the reasoning and the paper counts behind it. |

| Read [[Design:Website selection]] and [[Design:Sampling]] together: one is which list, the other is how you draw. [[Design:Crawling location]] is the address you control; [[Design:IP classification]] is everyone else's. [[Design:Platforms]] is the case where none of that applies, because the platform, not a ranking, defines the population. | Read [[Design:Website selection]] and [[Design:Sampling]] together: one is which list, the other is how you draw. [[Design:Crawling location]] is the address you control; [[Design:IP classification]] is everyone else's. [[Design:Platforms]] is the case where none of that applies, because the platform, not a ranking, defines the population. [[Design:DNS]] is the step before all of them: the resolution that turns a name in your list into the address you connect to, and what that step alone can get wrong. |

| Two of these pages describe how the corpus name-folds interact: "Alexa" in a paper's stated population is the retired ranking list of [[Design:Website selection]] in **412** papers and an Amazon platform in **39**, and "Amazon" is [[Design:User studies]]' Mechanical Turk in **179**. [[Design:Platforms]] publishes that fold in full. | Two of these pages describe how the corpus name-folds interact: "Alexa" in a paper's stated population is the retired ranking list of [[Design:Website selection]] in **412** papers and an Amazon platform in **39**, and "Amazon" is [[Design:User studies]]' Mechanical Turk in **179**.
