I did some work on making the tags page more interesting this morning.

Is that hand-coded or do you have it algorithmic?

Algorithmic.

NICE

I'll be updating/tweaking tomorrow. I have a few more ideas.

Ideally, we should suggest related tags as you type them in for a new post. That won't be happening tomorrow, but I want to make that happen.

Ideally, tags should be related automatically and then refined manually by everyone so that you get a good start but a careful refinement. My opinion, anyway - I'm just psyched to see something like this happening.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the relevance. But, it does only give the most popular relationships. I added more to the tag page, and now if you search for a term that has been used as a tag, it'll give you some related ones:

I'd like to find a clean way to insert this info into the feed for a given tag. But, I am going to work on another update for a bit.

Good on ya, mate. The fact that you're now attempting to make tags useful, rather than irrelevant, is a goddamn sea change.

Writing NICE in capital was just made more awesome by writing it this way.

I feel weird for finding that cool

for some reason my eyes read "hand-colored" and I clicked on mk's link and was momentarily bummed thinking I had missed some colorful expression... only to click back, re-read and then smack my forehead.

wednesday...

Judging by #history being related to #china #music and #science I'm guessing it uses tags that are commonly used together.

mk  ·  3572 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes, they are. There is a recency component to it however. Looking at the most recent #history posts, a number have been tagged #china.

Brilliant! :)

Has the data only been collecting since you made the changes?

mk  ·  3572 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Mostly, no. It might be reboot biased, but it digs back.
