An API would be cool. I'd like to make a tag/post browser based on my design for the MeFi compilation CD cover. There was a discussion at some point and I think Matt said there was a possibility of a data dump he could produce in lieu of a full open API... Matt, is there any chance of a file like that?

Oops, I found the thread on opening up MeFi and it was cortext who suggested a data dump and not Matt mentioning it. My bad.

MeTa post: I got my motherf*ckin' MetaFilter Compilation CD...

Ha, all my life I've aspired to nothing else but being linked on MeFi, and now I get *two* whole links out of... being left off the liner notes!

No biggie, errors will happen. Just teaches me to volunteer to be art director for volume 2, so I can make sure my name gets on there. ;)

Cheers everyone.

About that link to my profile... Geez, I see I've only made 1 proper post to MetaFilter in 4 years... Ahem.

Looks like my site might be down? Ugh.

BTW, MetaFilter Music Video Compilation Project, anyone? We have some songs on our hands now, after all...

I second cortex. It'd be fun to have MeFi data to play with.

MeTa post: Metafilter Compilation Album Call for Cover Art...

Random, but the other day I thought about the lyrics for New Order's Temptation while reading a MeFi post:

Oh you've got green eyes
Oh you've got blue eyes
Oh you've got grey eyes
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

"blogging" isn't a very cinematic subject (by _sirmissalot_)

i agree. blogs are too text-oriented as both medium and activity. (photoblogs contain visual media, but are mostly echoes of photo albums, bound as they were to the book-like interface.) making an cinematic piece about blogs seems like a real challenge. you might as well do a dance about architecture. so it makes sense to focus on blogging and...

about blogumentary on the web. i actually have huge ideas that i can't implement right now. i want to put *all* the footage in a video database, so you could watch interviews of everyone in the film (and everyone not in the film). the raw footage, indexed with wicked meta-data.

you might take a look at Jerome B. Wiesner, 1915-1994: A Random Walk through the 20th Century. it's an old mit media lab project. it presents an indexed database of video and... [more]
