That would be fun. As would actually attending wherecamp sometime :) So I've started trying to hack something. 1. I grabbeded the gzip'd mailboxes of this list from http://lists.burri.to/pipermail/geowanking/ 2. extracted sender emails and counted, sorted these. 3. started playing around wiring this up to Google's Social Graph API, so that we can properly count when someone is using from multiple email addresses known to be of same person. And to find blogs, twitter, photos etc. As far as I've got so far is checked into svn here: http://svn.foaf-project.org/foaftown/geo/geoff/ Notes: http://svn.foaf-project.org/foaftown/geo/geoff/readme.txt Sample output: http://svn.foaf-project.org/foaftown/geo/geoff/log2.txt Top of which is [[ 256: mnl / well.com 152: anselm / gmail.com 148: bounces / lists.burri.to 146: lblake / ksninc.com 117: tomlong / gmail.com 111: andy / hexten.net 103: steve / adam.com.au 94: rich.gibson / gmail.com 89: adoyle / eogeo.org 82: raj / rajsingh.org 81: geowanking / highearthorbit.com 80: ian / urbanmapping.com 77: sparafina / comcast.net 72: josh / oklieb.net 65: joshua / burri.to 63: nelson / crynwr.com 62: steve / asklater.com 61: mikel_maron / yahoo.com 56: ajturner / highearthorbit.com 56: kevin / phunc.com 53: cameron.shorter / gmail.com 53: anselm / hook.org 51: cholmes / openplans.org 47: shadow / dementia.org 42: andrew / andrewlarcombe.co.uk 41: tylermitchell / shaw.ca 39: hbgrant / voyager.net 38: wkearney99 / hotmail.com 38: jeremy / groundspeak.com 38: tpryor / media.mit.edu 38: drew / zhrodague.net 38: gould / lsi.uji.es 37: jgarnett / refractions.net 37: sgillies / frii.com ]] Now there must already be better code around for summarising mbox list archives. I don't want to re-do that. But I would like to be able to feed these email addresses (hashed or unhashed) to services like Google SGAPI to see what else they're publically linked with. Actually I've code for that written already but I couldn't quite track it down! The beginnings of a crude rewrite are in svn but I have to run now, so thought I'd post what I have. Partly this is a matter of just getting the url encoding of calls to the Google API right, partly a matter of dealing with the data that comes back and seeing what % of geowanker participants can be matched up this way. For exampel, http://socialgraph-resources.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/findcontacts.html?q=tomlong%40gmail.com Hope this quick scribble makes some sense, cheers, Dan -- http://danbri.org/ _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
