wectar - most popular bookmarks on delicious aggregator

wectar - most popular bookmarks on delicious aggregator. This resource is very simple and straightforward - it lists the most popular bookmarks in delicious over specific time periods - 4 hours, a day, a week, a month and a year. It provides details on the number of times a site is bookmarked, the name of the site and other similar or related sites. There's a checking option as well - type in the name of the specific page you're interested in, and Wectar will try and find other related pages. Very nice resource - my only real gripes are that there's a lot of repetition of the same site mainly because people have bookmarked slightly different versions so the results are not terribly accurate, and unless the title is descriptive it's necessary to visit the site to see what it's all about, which isn't helpful. Otherwise, it's a really nice idea!

Hi Phil,

thanks for the post about "our" wectar this and that. Just briefly the aggregator was not our idea but inspired by the wonderful web site http://popacular.com/

Accuracy is not our business right now we have to admit, also with our main service of finding related web sites we are far from being precise. Nevertheless we mainly enjoy playing around with the data we have available at the moment and hope some people out there already enjoy to see the reflections of our research in process. Any feedback like the points you made in your post here are of course most welcome.

Best

martin

Hello Phil,

once more a quick note from the wectar team. Since we couldn't see a contact address we use this vehicle here even so this is of course not meant to be published.
Due to your feedback we became aware of how many repletions with slight url variations are in this data from delicious feed. So we wrote a filter today which at least removes the obvious ones from the wectar aggregations (with and without trailing slash, with and without www)

So big thanks again

martin
