     @stav Re tag-spammer: Is there a way to make the tag-cloud count only the first instance of each tag by each account each day?

   • Stav Prodromou Identi.ca microblogging service , Deirdre

     @120new The way the tag cloud is computed is definitely subject to abuse by anyone. Your suggestion is very good. How about it @identica?

     @stav @120new I don't think we want to do that. We want to know how much a given tag is used even if it's used by the same individual(s).

   • Zach Copley Deirdre

     @stav @120new maybe we can have a reasonable limit per person.

     @zach I mean, if you have a "box" - another name for an iframe-app - have the option to show all of a user's personal feed - for context.

     @zach Is it possible to segregate #tag count for #stats purposes from tag count for #cloud ? Cloud is useful to users if not abused (Huh?)

     @jontheniceguy Do you mean Identi.ca feed? "Feed" on Facebook means the stuff on the "News Feed" tab, where "stories" are published.

     @stav Agree we need a fix for keyword stuffing in the tag cloud. But not sure about counting # of unique users per tag to generate weights.

     @csarven What are these people trying to accomplish? Doesn't seem like "black hat" SEO. Weird. I don't get it.

     @zach It is a mixture of 'bad' and 'good' accounts but the bad chain's hub seems to be @kabowikicenteren

     @csarven kabowikicenteren is a mystery to me... have no idea what this is but producing a whole heap of garbage...

   • Zach Copley Sarven Capadisli

     @csarven I noticed that one. What's the deal with that? The links in the notices go to a soup.io thing that have self-referencial links.

   • Deirdre Zach Copley

     @zach Re tag limits: yes, fair enough. My feeling is that the tag cloud should show a tag's popularity, not an individual's enthusiasm.

   • Sarven Capadisli Zach Copley , Cem Basman

     @zach I've looked around their "Wiki" and it just seems to be as @cemb puts it "a whole heap of garbage"

     Sunday, 11-Jan-09 21:59:16 UTC
   • Zach Copley Deirdre

     @120new @stav Agree cloud should show popularity not enthusiasm. Have to admit I don't have a better idea than yours for fixing. Thinking.

   • Cem Basman Sarven Capadisli

     @csarven recherche: they are building a wiki via identi.ca dents. every dent link is being re-send. are they collecting accounts?

     Sunday, 11-Jan-09 22:06:30 UTC
   • Sarven Capadisli Zach Copley

     @zach Wouldn't count of a #tag per user show popularity?

   • The wrong JonTheNiceGuy - follow jon.sprig.gs Zach Copley

     @zach Apologies for any confusion. Yes, I'd like to see a laconica iframe on Facebook to get more ppl into l.ca & for context in updates.

   • Stav Prodromou Zach Copley

     @zach I will trust you smart guys to figure it out... but are you still able to think after your haircut? :-)
