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!

Whoops, it thought the limit was 14 characters. It's 15. Fixed...

I had that too , then realised it has to have lower case only (I usually spell my username with a caopital)

Once I had changed it , it worked fine
