So basically I donked around with an idea I got from metareddit.com but for TL. Originally it was going to be a sort of aquarium for threads and thread culture but I then thought perhaps it's more interesting as a player tlpd overview as well. On second thought it isn't really but oh well. Anyways, go here to know what I'm talking about

http://www.metaliquid.net

For any programmers out there , the tag cloud algorithim is broken. I think I know why but It won't get fixed for a while. The code loads json data client side (which is another design flaw, as the synchronous nature is slow and obvious).

Anyways for non-programmers and programmers alike. What could make this interesting? The original idea of threads was that they would have sorting categories (eg hot, most replies etc) and also perhaps a Stream category (sorted by viewers I guess) but that ended up coming across as rather lame. I'm not sure. Anyways, a fun little project. I had other ideas of having more in depth detail for every player, but I would need UID for each player to tie extra data to. I guess player name would suffice, but those change all the time. Another idea was to have graffiti boards for every player that would get saved every day so that there is a unique graffiti museum for every player ;P

Im at a loss. What exactly are we talking about here ? Could you provide some background ?
Eg. What is the "tag cloud" algorithm.?

Well you know what a tag cloud is right?

I'm confused by the "matchup" options--do you search for "Jaedong ZvT" and stuff like that? Or just "Jaedong" and "Terran" in the same post?

Cool work though!

Oooh ok I see the confusion. The values (name sizes) are based on the detailed elo page of TLPD.

So basically there are three sets BW, SC2 Korea, Sc2 Int. and then you can sort the active set by the various stored elos, like current highest elo vs zerg or highest elo all time vs zerg.
