Re: [Psisoft-devl] Too cool (in a geek way)

[Dan B. <dm...@mr...>]

Quite frankly this is the coolest thing I have ever seen!

Film and TV rank higher than Animal!

We are a strange species!

It is really interesting that individual european countries rank higher
than the 'europe' entry. Could this be a function of the 'decay' parameter
used in passing weights around the links?

I assume europe isn't widely linked outside the context of particular
countries, and therefore is less ranked overall than particular countries. 

For similar reasons the fact that ww2 ranks very high, and isn't
specifically about countries or years is significant. outside of countries
and years, it is the most important page in wiki... but I guess ww2 has a
heck of a lot to do with countries and years.

Its interesting to see that the google rank for the query 'wikipedia' is
very different. I guess this measures the effects of 'external' links on
the ranking (or google trickery).


34.  	0.000652  	17.40  	Mathematics

How ace is that!
