http://del.icio.us/ » del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only between your own browsers and machines, but also with others. » Once you've registered for the service, you add a simple bookmarklet to your browser (see below). When you find a web page you'd like to add to your list, you simply select the del.icio.us bookmarklet, and you'll be prompted for a information about the page. You can add descriptive terms to group similar links together, modify the title of the page, and add extended notes for yourself or for others.

example http://del.icio.us/tag/information+visualization

or the popular stuff http://del.icio.us/popular/ (but the good of delicious is following people you like and not the general crowd, i.e. you can subscribe to bookmarks of your "trusted" friends)

in fact you can also subscribe to other people's bookmarks feed and of course you can graph the social nwork of "who subscribe to whom"... see http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001050.html

find information (such as, who links to) about URLs

global attention profile http://h2odev.law.harvard.edu/ezuckerman/ (reload!)

Global Attention Profiles Recent Research on Media Attention What's an attention profile? An attention profile is a set of data that shows what a given news media outlet is paying attention to at a particular moment in time. If we wanted to know how a given media outlet, say Google, was paying attention to NFL football teams, we could search for stories on all 32 teams and compare results to see who received the most and fewest stories. We might call this Google's Football Attention Profile. A Global Attention Profile looks at how a media outlet pays attention to 180 different nations. Instead of comparing how many stories Google has on the Green Bay Packers versus the Dallas Cowboys, we compare Google stories on Sudan versus Libya versus Lebanon. The resulting data gives us a picture of how an individual media source, at a given moment in time, pays attention to different nations.

commnunity site about papers, researchers and software about reputation and trust http://databases.si.umich.edu/reputations/ (but not very usable)

EmbryonicIdeas
Some ideas with 2 seconds thoughts attached

Hypothesis: it is easier to establish trust in someone if you know at least one image of her

How to test it: study if, in online systems, people with an image are most trusted (on average) than people without an image.

study also if, in online systems, there are difference in received trust based on skin color, prettiness, perceived age, ...

question: how much the image influence our idea of the person?

side study: how deception about your appearance influence trust? when discovered? (Remember the picture "on the internet noone knows you're a dog")
