Attention Data -> Interest clouds -> Interest networks?
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007I stumbled upon this site about apml a few weeks ago from a post on the Sig-IA mailing list.
When i saw this diagram
I immediately began thinking about how a browse could be created through these interest clouds. If we took the interest clouds and mapped the information to a critical mass of users you could get a collaborative filter that would allow users to browse interest based on their own. If we want to add reputation we could remove anonymity as well (of course this would be voluntary). In essence it would be a creation of Interest networks from ambient attention data. Passive behaviour = a very cool user driven browse.
