i'm in california for the week, visiting the fam. i should be back in action in the new year, ready to take on the social network explorer among other things.
blogdex would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. please blog responsibly.
in response to a number of people who have expressed an interest in an index which is "fresher" than the one currently at the front of blogdex, i've created the "fresh" index, now navigable from the top pane, but also availble from this url:
http://blogdex.media.mit.edu/browseIndex.asp?idx=fresh
the only way that a link can stay in this index is if its growth is exponential, namely that it doubles each day. i think that those who feel the current index is stale should find this one delicious and ripe.
after discovering a couple of links, i guess the cat has officially left the hat. for those that are inclined, you can give it a twirl, and let me know what you think. it's in a "use at your own risk" stage of development, so suggestions only please. instead of focusing on anyone's site, i'll give you memepool instead :)
http://blogdex.media.mit.edu/socnet/index.asp?ego=memepool.com
the url is likely to change, as well as some of the interface. also, there is no way to search the set of sites, so you'll have to guess, or wiggle your way through the social network to find a given person. by the end of next week, i'll have some more goodies as well. happy networking..
i apologize to everyone who experienced some nasty crawling effects last night from BlogBot (the culprit should have been named BlogBot/2.0). we were looking for a different set of webpages, namely links pages that are hidden one level deep. we're hoping to build the best social network representation possible before it goes online!
this was a one-time crawl, and shouldn't happen again anytime soon. if it does need to happen, it will be much slower and less thorough.
