My del.icio.us wishlist

In this space I will chronicle my many del.icio.us wishes and Lazyweb requests. Feel free to leave your own in the comments.

  • Create a del.icio.us user recommendation script/engine. The end result would be a list of users (ala Audioscrobbler’s “musical neighbors”):
  • The most closely matched people based on purely similar linkage. If someone has linked to 60.7% of the things I have linked to, I probably want to subscribe to that user.
  • The most prolific linker based on similar linkage. I want to know, based on similar linkage, who linked it sooner more often. I want to find people who find new things and/or are on the front end of memes I am interested in.
  • The most prolific linker based on popularity. Same idea as above, just for all del.icio.us. (Perhaps date of post compared to most recent post by another user could be a factor in some of these calculations?)
  • Create functionalities around the subscribe/inbox tools
    • Show me all the people who subscribe to my links
    • Show me all the people who my subscriptions link to, and possibly even 3rd degree connections (perhaps only multiply-related subscriptions)
  • Bring back the popularity shading! (I had forgotten about this until the recent redesign. A long time ago, the links were shaded darker based on link popularity. Now all there is to tell them apart is a number… how boring!) (I notice the somewhat old way of shading still exists on the popular links page, and a new green-tinted way is being done on the del.icio.us homepage.)
