[delicious-discuss] vocabulary convergence

2005-09-19 Thread Sam Joseph 

Hi All,

Have any studies been done on the convergence or divergence of
vocabulary in delicious?

I seem to recall someone posting an analysis that showed some aspect of
delicious changing over time, but I can't recall if it related to
vocabulary.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [delicious-discuss] Recommended tags based on a site's URL

In the NeuroGrid system I used to extract all the words from a page, 
remove stopwords and then present the most frequently occuring terms to 
the user  as tag possibilities.  More sophisticated approaches might use 
TFIDF or something like that.


The main problem with this, and indeed any other approach that involves 
parsing the page in question, is the time it takes to get the page and 
parse it.  The parsing usually won't take so long, but there will be a 
few seconds delay to grab the page, and this can be a little frustrating 
to users who are expecting a quick turnaround such as they currently get 
with del

Re: [delicious-discuss] Clay on categories, links, and tags

Isn't there a huge gap here in that Spotlight and Google Desktop don't 
actually give me control of the metadata associated with my files?


Personally I'd like to be able to tag any object (e.g. file, email, web 
bookmark, chunk of code) with any tag, and indeed with any other object, 
and then browse the network of links, but I'm not sure we'll see it any 
time soon.
