Kunal Anand Visualizes del.icio.us Tags · 97 words posted 04/06/2006 12:24 PM

Kunal Anand, an engineer at JPL, has written a visualization of del.icio.us tags using Python. I sent my tags to him in XML format and this is what he came up with (cropped):

According to Kunal:

  1. Each dot represents a tag (aka a node)
  2. Each line represents an intersection between tags
  3. The brighter colors indicate heavy intersections

The alogorithms appear similar to other social network maps such as Markos Weskamp’s Social Circles or Carey Priebe’s email usage patterns. You can view the full size, high resolution visualization here (464KB jpg).
