LJ trust metrics
Raph linked to Bitchun by Joseph. Joseph knows math of eigenvector and carries the torch of trust metrics, so to speak. When we touched bases some time ago, I was somewhat disturbed by his [very] premature attempts at commercializing the research. I know only too well what happens when premature commercialization strikes (Anyone remembers Matt O'Keefe and GFS? Me neither). Joseph is too smart to fall into his trap though, I did not even need to tell him about the danger.
Raph's link prompted me to surf a little bit, so I found this:
It's a picture made by the same guy who applied PageRank to LJ. I gave that a whirl as well. The results were well calculated, but mostly useless. For some reason I do not find popular people's diaries all that interesting. Also, it unearthed a pile of folks who used to write years ago and moved on. The lonely catch of the day was ajaxxx. I have to pay attention to X11 due to this Xen and PV framebuffer business.
{Update: Oh, and BTW. The picture above is a good illustration to the thesis that one ought to blog in English.}
