Tag clouds
Just a little pointer to an ongoing project: [edit: » The latest version can be found here «]
I am currently working on similarity (correlation-based) navigation mechanisms for tags and other nominal metadata and a trend measure (kind of hinted at in the interactive version with the green colors). I will soon post an update and a few explanations.

I would be happy if you could contribute your del.icio.us, ma.gnolia or furl tags, if you use one of these public bookmarking services. In this case, just do the following; it’s a one minute thing:
- Go to https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all?
- The browser will ask you for your delicious username and password.
- As a response, you will get an XML file containing all your posts. The browser page might look blank, but if you take a look at the source code, you will see it’s an XML file.
- Send me the file (copy paste source code into a text file or save directly) along with a short notice, if you want it published in future experiments (with your username or anonymized).
