Firefox Extension for Applied Social Networking

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the grinding-out-the-documentation-of-relationships dept.

wanderingstan writes "Outfoxed is my masters thesis project about trust. (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!"

    You have to live with the fact that most people run Windows. Not most people on Slashdot, perhaps, but most people in general. We all know Linux is better, etc., but honestly it's not ready for the desktop, and until it is you can't expect all the software you want or need to be released for it.
