What have you done now? I hear most of you shouting!
It's an experiment. It's still in testing.
The rest of you . . . What are you on about?
http://www.ajb007.co.uk/tagsoup/ (or on the home page at the bottom).
Ok, ok but what is it?
Put simply it currently reads the news from ajb, CBN and Bond Movies twice a day. Upon doing this it checks the content for keywords.
Then it displays the main keywords on the home page, with the largest being the most important (i.e. the one found the most) etc etc.
Hmmm, it looks ok but...
It is simply an interesting (I think) way to bring the news to you. If you like the look of a keyword just click it and see what you get.
Once you click a keyword you can then navigate the news via keywords as each article lists it's keywords as links. See where you end up!!
I love it
Good because it took a while to make, and it will still be perfected over time.
I know of a Bond RSS Feed, will you add it?
Get in touch and I will consider it yes, the more there are the better the keywords.

At the moment the keywords will be quite similiar on a daily basis as there is only limited news.
P.S. It seems that the recent topics is not working now. There have been new threads that weren't added to i.
Yes you are right, which is why I am considering removing it from the list. But I want to see how it runs and updates first.
The Cat. Recent Topics has undergone a couple of changes in order to speed up the site. These changes will be reduced soon. Currently it is only updated every hour. But I will reduce this.
The Recent Topics was / is a giant bottle neck on the main page. It is the slowest part of the page so it needs sorting. In the short term this is the best option.
Clicking More Recent Topics, does still do a live search on the database.
The keywords on the front page have been individually pulled from the news articles. There for EON and EON Productions are used extensively enough in the articles to be classed as main keywords.
What you see is only a handful of keywords (the top few). The database actually contains around 200 for each pass.
Depending on the frequency of news updates in a day / week the words should change reasonably fast.
I think the tag soup is out of control. It gets bigger and bigger, almost distarctingly huge and contains many words with no intrest whatsover. There should be some more filters or I don't know what, because now it contains too many redundant expressions.
It's still in Beta and under going testing.
The Tag Soup is in control now...:o
I like it, Si.
Don't mention it to anyone the TAG will get you...

So, perhaps the largest font should be brought down a size or two. Perhaps it could be made not much larger than the standard font size (it appears to be Size 10), while the currently larger ones could be made into bold, and the really small ones could be made to be really small.
Or . . . Perhaps instead of it being on the home page itself, there should be a link to it on another page. That might make things look more uniform--then, since it has a page to itself, it can be made as large as you like! Size 1000 would be interesting. . . . )
But as it can be potentially different every six hours it's hard to tell what to keep and what to remove.
"Board member" always seems to be in the soup, so I think it would be safe to remove that one.
[list=*]
[*]"Man" (a bit too generalized, I would say )[/*]
[*]"Casino" (I don't really think both "Casino" and "Casino Royale" are required )[/*]
[*]"Rogue" (comes from "Goldeneye Rogue Agent," no doubt)[/*]
[/list]
I would say that those and the other more generalized ones (i.e. ones like "Message Board" and "Film") seem to be pretty much unrelated to Bond, and are kind of unneeded as a result. However, this is just from looking at the homepage as it is. It might be different in the next few hours, but the from what I've seen, these ones seem to be up there quite frequently. But there again, I'm not sure. . . . What do you think?
I can exclude words but the dictionary would become huge!
