MyBlogLog Topics, collaborative filtering in action
Activity streams are the new black. New with Me pulls together all your activity across the Net and is a compelling way to let the world know what you've been doing. Aggregation of your friends' updates are even better. But this is just a starting point, something Todd likes to call, the DNA of social networks. Once you get this data in one place, you're in a position to do some really interesting things.
Today we're updating our Tags pages to include updates from our New with Me system sorted into relevant pages which we're now calling Topics. MyBlogLog started as a place to find people and sites that are associated with your interests. Now, with all the great material being shared with the MyBlogLog community via New with Me, you can easily check out the latest with all the topics you find interesting.
Check out the Topic pages for web2.0, politics, and Easter and you'll find a host of interesting material to browse.
We hope you find this feature useful. The related topics tag cloud in the upper right is pretty cool too. Click on any tag and you'll get a new page, click a tag on any event on the page and you'll get yet another page. One person described it as "going down the rabbit hole" and we think that pretty much describes how addictive this is. If you're looking for the down low on something, be sure to check out MyBlogLog to find out the latest on anything. Yes, pretty much anything.
Nice feature with RSS feed to follow our favorites tags :o)
Could you study idea I submitted on Suggestion Board for your API about allowing third party to create tagger-bot like mbl-delicious ? ... I would like add "hot-tags"* defined on my users profiles ;o)

This seems like a very useful tool as there are so many places to keep up these days. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Richard
