Try my new trust metric!

[ciphergoth]

I have implemented my new trust metric, and applied it (fairly crudely) to LiveJournal friends lists as an experiment. The result is a tool that tells you who is "closest" to your friends list who isn't actually on it, like "popwithfriends" but more sophisticated.

Who is closest to your friends list?

Let me know how plausible the results seem to you.

Update: Shit, I've broken the machine it was running on. Back later when I've made it check the load average before running the metric... Update: Back again now, with a rate limiter to keep the load average reasonable. Gosh, hadn't expected such popularity!

keirf pointed me at it. Very very plausible, nearly everyone is people I know vaguely IRL or friends of friends.

And indeed on looking at the half dozen or so I didn't immediately recognise I was able to work out who they were or why they were connected to me almost immediately looking at their userinfo. Very very impressed indeed.

And you're number 33 :-)
