A few month ago we introduced - in preparation for our master thesis - a
small clustering tool for del.icio.us [1][2]. Now the thesis is
completed [3] and a first preview of the accompanying prototype is
available at http://groop.us
GROOP.US [4] is a web service to visualize your social context based on
the tags you have used. It shows your areas of interest and relates
people with similar interests to groups to foster the creation of a
shared understanding about tags and resources.
GROOP.US relies on the previously mentioned clustering tool and could
not have been developed without the hundreds of del.icio.us users
providing their resources and tags. A big "thank you" to all who used
the clustering tool.
Our server capabilities are low so we decided to limit the first alpha
testing of GROOP.US to a small number of users. We selected 1000 people
from all that have used the clustering tool so far. To see if you have
been chosen look at http://groop.us/activate_form and activate your
account - sorry, you have to provide your del.icio.us password once
again to verify your identity.
Comments are welcome, to this list or in our blog at http://groop.us/blog
