This is my brain on del.icio.us and I have officially stepped into waters too geek for me to understand.
I discovered this at Foe Romeo, and basically it’s a graphic representation of the keywords that I have used to build my del.icio.us profile. The larger the text the more entries I have under that keyword. Technology seems to dominate my del.icio.us thoughts, with the variants of blog, blogs and blogging following quickly behind.
The idea for this new look at data-organisation was originally created by Matt at Blackbeltjones, who built his own profile in Illustrator. Kevan saw it and liked it and knocked together a bit of code, so that tourists like me could get visual with a single click, bish bash bosh, we now have: extisp.icio.us.
But before you get too excited by this latest blip of interest, the regulars at many 2 many weighed in and dreww from aramchek, for one, was not impressed:
“yeah, that looks pretty cool. for like 10 seconds. until you realize that it’s just randomly distributing the tags across the viewpane, with no discernable clustering, and thus, hardly any value.”
Well, I wasn’t expecting much more than cool, so I’m happy.
