The other day Valleywag.com published a complete list of all the attendees at TED and there were some really famous names there. When I saw the list I thought this could make a really cool mashup. If you took all the names and then try to find who are the most popular in descending order (using something like enterprise search (Hadoop)). I thought about doing it but, frankly it would take me to much time. I was just thinking out loud that if someone who was up to the challenge could do this it would educate dopes like me and create some really cool publicity for this site.
It would/could be a lot more sophisticated than this but...
Aaron LeBerge 26,900 hits
Adam Dell 892,000 hits
...
...
Al Gore 7,730,000 hits
Anyway this is the stupid kind of stuff I think about when the kids go to bed.
Thanks for listening
John
