Visualising del.icio.us Bookmarks with extisp.icio.us

Frequent readers of this site will know that I really like del.icio.us, it’s become one of my near daily tools and, thanks to the API, it’s become a lead generator for me. While it’s interesting to find people with similar interests to you it can be a lot of very tedious work to get a good overview of someone’s interests and see if they mesh with your own; enter extisp.icio.us.

This online application generates a visual representation of the tags you use and increases the font size in proportion to the number of links you have in a certain tag. To show it in action have here is my own dwilson del.icio.us bookmarks. Pretty easy to see where my interests are focused isn’t it! While this isn’t exactly a world changing tool it does it’s one job well.
