Using Delicious Tags in Google to Tell Me What I Am
October 25, 2008
I recently took my top 32 tags in Delicious and put them into a Google query in order to establish what my occupation is (if something so simplistic can even be legitimately done). The top tags are:
- science
- history
- education
- politics
- learning
- power
- design
- economics
- systems
- philosophy
- thought
- business
- thinking
- mind
- intelligence
- society
- psychology
- visualization
- understanding
- school
- USA
- programming
- development
- theory
- map
- brain
- research
- management
- software
- statistics
- culture
- policy
To get this list I removed the tags “blog, article, video, and essay,” because they are mediums and not interests, so I removed them in the final query. From this I got several occupational categories:
- Information Theory
- Success Science
- Business Management
- Cybernetics
- Systems Theory
- Artificial Intelligence
- Economics
Now these are obviously fairly loose and interpreted associations, but they are interesting never the less. Systems Theory, Cybernetics, and Business Management are very familiar to me. Information theory is an in-between. But Success Science and Artificial Intelligence were actually surprising. I expected to get something on political science, but there wasn’t really anything.
