Updated Relation Algorithm for Folksonomy

Posted Sun, 30 Oct 2005

Just a quick note that I updated (read: corrected) the algorithm for finding related stories in folksonomy. It occurred to me last night that an entry should be most closely related to itself, and in my previous implementation that was almost never the case. Related entries are now ranked based on how many tags they share with the entry in question, which is what I think I intended to do the first time around. Not sure what I was smokin, but that not even close to what it was doing.
