Blog Keywords

December 10th, 2005

I’ve been experimenting with "auto-tagging" or taxonomies for over a month now using Yahoo’s Web Services. The "Similar Entries" section under each blog post uses this information to attempt to determine which other blog posts may be relevant. So far, we’ve amassed a total of 2,343 keywords (1,563 different keywords). I haven’t really tried doing much else with these keywords as I’ve found that the quality of the keywords Yahoo! returns can vary greatly.

The top 30 generated keywords are as follows: 

  • google 38
  • firefox 24
  • blog 23
  • opera 15
  • internet explorer 15
  • search 15
  • nice 14
  • lot 13
  • browsers 11
  • mozilla firefox 11
  • safari 10
  • default 10
  • interface 10
  • microsoft 10
  • beta 9
  • mozilla 9
  • xmlhttprequest 9
  • http 9
  • engine 9
  • open source 8
  • apparently 8 (oh, really?)
  • blogs 8
  • gmail 8
  • integration 7
  • flock 7
  • msn messenger 7
  • guess 7
  • download 7
  • digg 7
  • gecko 6
