display a content post in an online community interface; and

upon detecting a selection of an option in the online community interface to evaluate the content post:

request a selection of at least one portion of the content post by displaying in the online community interface favorability score indicia for at least one previously evaluated portion of the content post having a previous average favorability score greater than a designated value or by displaying in the online community interface at least one predetermined portion of the content post, wherein the at least one predetermined portion of the content post is identified based upon content portion data generated via a natural language processing application or an audiovisual processing application that processes each language element expressing a complete thought within the content post;

request an evaluation of the selected at least one portion of the content post by requesting selection of a favorability score on a predefined scale for each of the selected at least one portion of the content post; and

upon receiving the selected at least one portion of the content post and the evaluation thereof, update display of the content post to reflect the evaluation.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein updating display of the content post to reflect the evaluation comprises:

determining respective average favorability scores for each of the selected at least one portion of the content post based on the evaluation; and

displaying in the online community interface indicia reflecting the respective average favorability scores determined for the selected at least one portion of the content post.

3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein requesting a selection of at least one portion of the content post further comprises:

sending the content post to a content processing application; and

receiving from the content processing application the at least one predetermined portion of the content post.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the natural language processing application parses a textual element of the content post.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein determining the total average favorability score for the content post further comprises applying a weight to the respective average favorability score determined for each portion of the selected at least one portion based on a number of evaluations received for the portion.

9. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein requesting a selection of at least one portion of the content post further comprises, upon detecting selection of an option in the online community interface to display previous evaluation attributes, displaying attributes regarding evaluations of online community participants with respect to at least one portion among the at least one previously evaluated portion of the content post.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the displayed attributes include a quantity of online community participants who assigned a particular favorability score to a respective previously evaluated portion.

11. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing an application program, which, when executed on the processor, performs an operation comprising:

displaying a content post in an online community interface; and

upon detecting a selection of an option in the online community interface to evaluate the content post:

requesting a selection of at least one portion of the content post by displaying in the online community interface favorability score indicia for at least one previously evaluated portion of the content post having a previous average favorability score greater than a designated value or by displaying in the online community interface at least one predetermined portion of the content post, wherein the at least one predetermined portion of the content post is identified based upon content portion data generated via a natural language processing application or an audiovisual processing application that processes each language element expressing a complete thought within the content post;

requesting an evaluation of the selected at least one portion of the content post by requesting selection of a favorability score on a predefined scale for each of the selected at least one portion of the content post; and

upon receiving the selected at least one portion of the content post and the evaluation thereof, updating display of the content post to reflect the evaluation.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein updating display of the content post to reflect the evaluation comprises:

determining respective average favorability scores for each of the selected at least one portion of the content post based on the evaluation; and

displaying in the online community interface indicia reflecting the respective average favorability scores determined for the selected at least one portion of the content post.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein requesting a selection of at least one portion of the content post further comprises:

sending the content post to a content processing application; and

receiving from the content processing application the at least one predetermined portion of the content post.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the natural language processing application parses a textual element of the content post.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the audiovisual processing application processes an audiovisual element of the content post.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein updating display of the content post to reflect the evaluation comprises:

determining a total average favorability score for the content post based on the evaluation; and

displaying in the online community interface the total average favorability score determined for the content post.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein determining the total average favorability score for the content post comprises averaging respective average favorability scores determined for each of the selected at least one portion of the content post based on the evaluation.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein determining the total average favorability score for the content post further comprises applying a weight to the respective average favorability score determined for each portion of the selected at least one portion based on a number of evaluations received for the portion.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein requesting a selection of at least one portion of the content post further comprises, upon detecting selection of an option in the online community interface to display previous evaluation attributes, displaying attributes regarding evaluations of online community participants with respect to at least one portion among the at least one previously evaluated portion of the content post.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the displayed attributes include a quantity of online community participants who assigned a particular favorability score to a respective previously evaluated portion.
