ranking the tags
these series of experiments around ranking give a simple overview of the traffic related to the r-echos articles. It gives insight on trends and zeitgeist.
the main issue with this techniques is that it gives only the most accessed clues, which produce an information-rich model.
What would be the next steps:
1/ the less accessed articles and tags – what is the less trendy? is there a rare pearl in there?
2/ the favorites – there are always a few websites in the whole that interrests me a bit more
3/ the weight of a tag – the more articles are defined by a keyword should affect the whole system
4/ the weight of an article – …
3 and 4, at first sight, are based on an information-rich model as well; however the datas generated by this bias could be used in a different way
update:
solution 3/: (beta) each time an article is defined by a keyword, this keyword get one point. 10 most accessed tags via articles

there’s still 8064 articles without tags inside r-echos – articles which were rebloged before the «tag scripts»; to correct this, i’ve written a script to automate the filling of tags for each articles: it scans the content (title+subject/category+content) and get the pre-recorded keywords; however the script isn’t (of course) able to get the context. This could be done with a kind of tag bundle (à la delicious) which would give a better semantic aspect to the things. Much more complex to devellop, you guessed right! Anyway at the moment, i have to review each tags form so that it doesn’t get tooooooo messy. Be patient, 8064 old articles to read again just to check the classification is right (even if articles are short ones): it takes time :)
For the logs: this morning the new module displayed 408 recorded tracks, which means that in one night a 360ish articles have been accessed.

Mainly, anti-chambre is an experimental space, recording thoughts and projects, reading and ideas; it is a laboratory – originally intended as an archive space for my m.a. at écal, lausanne – in media and interraction design; it is still an experimental spave, but now evolving toward experiences related to some of the main pieces:
on one hand: r-echos, a magazine. More exactly a reblog: a daily (or almost) selections of articles, links, images. As the subtitle says: “Daily news, digested and reinjected”.
On the other hand, zeitgeist is related to the electronic RE-presentation.
Here, on blogspot, you’ll have access to a sort of log of the most recent experiments taking place inside anti-chambre.

The conceptual electronic presence of the Macondo café on Hoxton Square (London), this was the first website design of the Macondo which lasted for quite some time from August 2005 to November 2007.
The evolving color of the background was setting the stage along with a post mixed record of the ambient sound – giving a sort of strange pre-impression of being at the café. The website was purely informative: it had only text and no seductive pictures, since the idea was for people to be there and not in front of a computer screen.
They since moved off of this identity track Daniel Mair and I designed.
the background color used a 10×10 gif animation
