A lot of ideas in the halfbakery are linked to one and other. You could probably get from any one idea to any other idea, simply by following the links added to the idea.
My idea is to take a stop point, any day at all, where the bakery will be copied to another server, so that working out the diagram
won't stop the halfbakery.
Each idea will then be looked at, and the idea with the most links will be placed in the center of the diagram, with the ideas with the lest links to and from them being on the outer edges of the diagram.
Each idea will have lines coming out of it, signifying a link, and a directional arrow, showing which direction the link works in. Also, links to external sites will be included as lines going to a web address.
Although this is never going to be implemented, due to the fact that it is such a huge task, and the diagram would probably need to be updated on a yearly basis, i would deffinatly pay quite a sum of money for a hard copy of the diagram. It would make quite the cool poster, and it could be used to challenge folk at a game of 'shrtest route' and others of that ilk.

You'd only end up with a big bundle of string leading out of the pot of vagina-jam. |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure there is an idea out there that has more than four links on it. |
|
| |
I'm not sure you'd get what you're after. Since anyone can make a link, a connection between two ideas doesn't make them related. |
|
| |
Big kipper from me, I'm afraid. It would be such a mammoth task. Just think of the wo/man hours involved. I mean, does anyone out there know anyone who has nothing better to do all day than sit at a computer reviewing the twisted ramblings that are presented here....... |
|
| |
I don't think it's a hard task; you'd just have to do |
|
| |
grep 'http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/' * |
|
| |
over the whole database/all the pages, and do a bit of tinkering with the results. |
|
| |
It doesn't matter if the links are related ro meanignful, i really just want a giant link map of the halfbakery, i don't care whether the link to's make sense or not, as long as they are there. |
|
| |
Are the lines allowed to cross? It would be more of a challenge if they weren't. |
|
| |
I don't see why not. Maybe two versions could be made. One without crossing over, and one with crossing over. It might not be possible to do it without crossing. |
|
| |
The other day I thought perhaps it might be neat to have a halfbakery links-only page, listing all the added links (but not the ideas) that branch out of the bakery on one page, perhaps in groups of 10 with prev/next buttons. Since everything's in a database now, I *think* this would be pretty simple to set up. But how useful, really? |
|
| |
It would be for interest mainly, but on several occasions I've remembered that a link has been on here, *somewhere*, but I couldn't remember where. |
|
| |
The obvious way to make this would not be as a poster, but a three-dimensional thing like a molecular model thing. |
|
| |
No, i'm stickin' with the poster. |
|
| |
oh go on, you can have those molecular things in all colours with the knobbly ends and double helixes, we love double helixes... |
|
| |
You can have your molecules, i want my poster, damn it! |
|
| |
I love it when you are rattled! you could photograph the *real* thing and make it into a poster |
|
| |
It wouldn't be the same thing though. |
|
| |
You say you would re-do/update your poster every year. With a molecular model, you could spend all day every day adding the ideas physically, as new links were made. A sort of ongoing (dis)placement activity. the baubles could be different colours for different authors. They could be spherical for positively-received ideas, and tetrahedral for fishy ones. |
|
| |
I just want a damn subway-esque poster. You can have your molecules if you want them. I want a poster. |
|
| |
I vote for the poster... its probably cheaper... alternatively a smaller version could maybe go on a t-shirt... |
|
| |
Maybe this could get implemented... Jutta? |
|
| |
Please don't use the halfbakery for web-crawling experiments, unless you really, really know what you're doing; I've got to block enough crappy software as is. |
|
| |
For those of you who think that this site would be a good source for experimenting with graph layout algorithms, I've provided the raw link data in the link above. You can take it from there. There's a lot of material on graphs already out there, so you might want to read up on it first. |
|
| |
I think you're overestimating how interesting this looks, but feel free to prove me wrong. |
|
| |
Figured I'll link it here rather than posting an expiring idea -- MIT Persona's graphically illustrates a person's web imprint, and generates pretty interesting results for member screennames |

Hi, THC. Did you know that MIT offers free online
courses? |
