Project Description:
Ian Timourian (kiddphunk), who runs mandalabrot.net, home of some amazing generative art pieces, has developed del.icio.us.discover, a stunning set of visualizations + explorations into "link-spaces" in the del.icio.us collaborative bookmarking network. It was created with Processing + Perl, using data gathered early March, 2006.

The project aims to deliver: 1) direct and abstract visualizations of intra- and inter-user relationships. 2) simple, implementable algorithms to recommend "links-of-interest" that might otherwise be missed by a user currently utilizing only popularity-based link aggregators, and ideas for their further usages.
