Do you remember my simple Google-relevance-algorithm described here: http://blogoscoped.com/forum/83810.html ?

I used it to compute the links between the 100 most influential persons of 20th century:

With some surprises...

hey zhouzhuang, could not load up the data file (xls) format.

but, its an interesting datamine method...

Same here... can't find the XLS...

Upload it to Google Docs and make it public.

Sorry (I hate Goecities!).

The xls is here:
http://milivella.sphosting.com/time100.xls

I'm trying to upload it to Google Docs, but it's too large.

BTW, I've uploaded the image to Picasa:

Working :(link for the image:

what the heck is the relationship between Bruce Lee and Marilyn Munroe ??

and... sphosting give me this for the datasources..

Access to Sphosting.com has been disabled because:

• You did something you were not meant to or there was an error.

Mostly, people from the same (domain/country/period of time) have bigger scores. The results are pretty good.

New (web 0.0*) solution for the xls: e-mail me
allevaerdnainterfree.it
and I'll send you the file (1MB)

*Web 1.0 (Geocities), 1.5 (file hosting) and 2.0 (Google Docs) failed...

> what the heck is the relationship between Bruce Lee and Marilyn Munroe ??

This is weird link, I admit it. But:

1. Which of the other persons should be more strongly linked to Bruce Lee? Muhammad Ali? I dont' know. I don't see persons really linked to Bruce Lee in the list. Maybe Marilyn is the best of this low-related persons.

2. B.L. and M.M. were both actors.

3. Both dead young.

(2.+3.=4. Both popular icons.)

> 1. Which of the other persons should be more strongly linked to Bruce Lee? Muhammad Ali? I dont' know. I don't see persons really linked to Bruce Lee in the list. Maybe Marilyn is the best of this low-related persons.

This, of course, applies only to Bruce Lee. And the other 3 points are stronger for him than for Marilyn.

Can you also send it to upimchenyahoo.de ?
thanks.

To Philipp (blog post):

"He": I'm male ;)

> The algorithm behind this is a kind of normalized Googleshare, if I understand it right, but Milivella please correct me if I’m wrong!

You aren't wrong, but maybe it would be more meaningful to say that it's like a Googleshare that doesn't rank high those words/expressions that are often used outside of that context. Example:

Context: "Google Blogoscoped". Expressions: "with", "Philipp Lenssen"
Googleshare: "with" 100%; "Philipp Lenssen" 10%
My algorithm: "with" 4; "Philipp Lenssen" 1064

Oops. So I suppose Andrea (your email signature) is a male name in Italy?

I've drawed another (IMHO far better and more interesting) graph:
- Image: http://picasaweb.google.com/milivella/UntitledAlbum/photo#5039481500204188338
- Blog post: http://zhouzhuang.livejournal.com/1786.html

(And, yes, Andrea is a male name in Italy.)

Added a correction to the post, thanks...
