I'd be frustrated with you for being so dismissive, if I was confident that you're speaking from hard-won experience. I'd like to create a semantic aggregator, or something like it, through human intervention, but making it easier to specify the structure of indices, or by allowing for the adjustment of ranking by participants in a social network. > What about content in non-tagged sources (say XML-Dev) and gamed > content? Aren't these two very different problems? My solution to gamed content is accountability. That's were you depart from the hosted indices, hand have personal indices that have an individual's endorsement. > How about correlation of hidden couplers? Hidden couplers?

I'm not sure how to extract knowledge from opinion, or how to approach an algorithm that would eliminate bias. I think through accountability, you could begin to at least identify the bias. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@e... - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml
