I use Sage to manage the RSS feeds I like to track. I track my friends del.icio.us links RSS feed. When you add a URL to del.icio.us you get to leave a comment on it, like a note. This note comes up with the link in Sage. What I’d like to do is reply to this comment. Comments on del.icio.us bookmarks. Could be in interesting idea.
I heard about a technology that lets you leave notes on URLs for you friends. A Firefox extension could be developed to get all the comments that have been left for your current URL.
Also would be handy is if del.icio.us let you bookmark RSS feeds and then acted as an aggregator for you. I guess this would be pretty server intensive, like a universal cache for all the webs feeds worth bookmarking. People could then leave comments on all the articles coming though. It would be like a web on top of the web: MetaWeb!

Community segmentation is going to become a growing need for large online communities where some parts of the community will not want to encounter other parts for various reasons, ether for content rating issues or because there is too much information from a certain part of the community that a member might not be interested in.
Are there automatic methods for achieving this: for clustering content to a community members behaviour and then dynamically filtering content/notifications to this grouping?
BJ’s literature review discusses various nearest neighbour approaches to ‘recommendation systems’ (’collaborative filtering’ is no longer trend but sounds more impressive ;). The group is well treaded, so perhaps what I’m asking is has any site actually used this sort of system to completely adapt itself.
What are the advances on the front end?
