feature request: use my tagging history to show me interesting things

[Matt]

Hello again,

Another del.icio.us idea my friend and I had is more vague. We were
noticing how much del.icio.us is learning about our interests, thanks
to all the interesting links we keep teaching it about, and we were
wondering if there were any plans to make use of that.

For example, a version of http://del.icio.us/popular that shows us
fresh links that we will certainly be interested in based on our
interests.

Or a version of the network view which somehow emphasizes activity
that will likely be more interesting to us than the average link.

It would be cool to sort the past year's worth of my friends' postings
from most interesting to least interesting. Or sort a particular tag's
history in a similar way.

I would pay money to be able to do things like this. :)

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

Good idea! In fact, del.icio.us browsing history makes a very rich (and
dynamic) user profile, which can be used to access all sorts of
information - not just del.icio.us. Here's a report on an investigation
into this topic - but, nothing you can buy :)

Hey, that's pretty cool. I think of an idea and somebody else
publishes a ten page research paper about it two months ago!
Thanks, Steve. Very interesting work.

Yeah -- this is something I definitely want to produce at some point.
