Find Similar Sites
If you find a really good article, try copying and pasting the full URL to above. Often times you will be able to find related articles. This is an experiment to see whether I can quickly find relevant web sites based on people’s tags/bookmarks on del.icio.us, using a home-brewed association engine. It answers the question “people who tagged this site also tagged what other sites�. I am using it mostly to find blogs that are similar to the ones I read, and to find new popular web sites that are in my area. Because of hardware constraints (you won’t believe how little I pay to have this site up), and my rule of hitting del.icio.us less than once every 10 seconds, I’m only getting the popular stuff from del.icio.us. Still, the result has been quite interesting. I hope this can be useful to others as well.
