(Nutshell overview) The extension uses a social network for personalized searching, phishing/spyware protection, file/process validation and more. It's related to del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and those Kevin Bacon things, but goes a lot further. Mathematically, it's based on the network behavior of small world networks (pdf). Built with Javascript, Python, SQL, and XSLT. 366 testers so far, but we need the network to grow!"

  1. You want me to futher your career? by Eunuch · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So you want me to take my time to try out something that has been done many times (just look at the comments) so you can further your career? Perhaps you should offer micropayments to those who you would like to utilize in your quest for more money.
