<title>Your Movie Database</title>
<description>IMDB -- but customizable. good idea. Users make lists of movies and then comment on each others lists. A nice feature is called &amp;quot;affinity&amp;quot; which I think we might like to do with Penntags at some point. Affinities is basically like &amp;quot;people who like this also like&amp;quot; but is more -- this person has a lot in common with these people.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

<title>CollaborativeRank -- del.icio.us search engine</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt; CollaborativeRank is an attempt at building a search engine for del.icio.us that returns helpful/timely search results.   The central idea behind CollaborativeRank is to motivate people to provide helpful/timely URLs by rewarding them for doing so.  Currently, the rewards are as follows: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; greater influence on search rankings for a given query &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; a higher ranking as an expert for a given query &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; a higher ranking overall among all contributors  &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt; I believe that these rewards would give people the feeling that they are having some influence over the URLs that others visit.  I suspect that many people would feel a sense of satisfaction from influencing others in this way. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
