Astronomy Tagged
For a while I've been running an experiment. I have a list of 229 astronomy and space related blogs and I created a robot which monitors their posts and extracts tags that the authors have attached. These tags let individual blogs groups their own posts but I wanted to see if there was anything useful that could be found from aggregating tags over a wide group. The result was Spacebuzz which lists the top tags of the moment and will plot the usage history for individual tags. Recently I created a page which shows an aggregate plot of all posts and tags over time.
