Great idea on bootstrapping user interest from del.icio.us. I have too many del.icio.us tags. Please sort them by frequency rather than alphabet (or at least provide the option). I use del.icio.us as a repository for technical bookmarks (as opposed to faves.com, where I put cool links for my friends). So my "language" tag refers to programming languages, but that's not what Jaxly assumes. It would work better for me if you took the whole tag cloud and tried to infer my interests from that. I'm probably very atypical.

I noticed that too when I clicked on my tag 'code', I got all sorts of stuff like presidential code, etc You mean doing semantics can set this right? Any suggestions on APIs to use? And, the the action of getting tags takes place by an ajax request, so will it be heavy for the server if I perform semantic actions in the background to give user tags? I am running on appengine UPDATE: I changed the tag visualization to a tag cloud to solve the navigation problem. But still the 'older' link problem leaves me stranged at the bottom of the page when the changes take place at the top. UPDATE-2: I changed the tag view back to list type. The cloud type seems too crowded and not readable. Atleast the list type can list neatly by alphabetical order UPDATE-3: Solved the view problem when selecting tags and navigating through news. It works fine now. All I had to do was to change the href=javascript:something as onclick attribute and set the href to an anchor pointing to the top of the page. But still the problem of selecting tags through the crowd, I am not able to come up with any visualization idea. Creating a tag cloud with various font sizes is not possible since I don't know the number of bookmarks in a user's account. With that data I could have done some math and set different font sizes for different tags.
