The 10 most influential del.icio.us users
June 17th, 2008
I recently noticed the same names popping up again and again on the del.icio.us popular feed. So I pulled the last 5k posts and these are the most influential del.icio.us users:
I imagine these users have a knack of finding good content as well as having a large del.icio.us network.
| User | Count |
|---|---|
| ani625 | 124 |
| pramodc84 | 35 |
| gerd.storm | 34 |
| atul | 17 |
| angusf | 10 |
| CPops | 9 |
| randyzhang | 9 |
| fake_joshua | 8 |
| Blakovitch | 8 |
| speckyboy | 8 |
| refina | 7 |
Here’s how I did this:
Google feed api to fetch the last 5k users (you need to be authenticated to get this so i saved it from my browser)
http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http://del.icio.us/rss?r=n&n=5000I then cat’d the results into this perl script: script.pl < popular.rss
#!/usr/bin/perl
my %users;
while(<>){
my ($user) = ($_ =~ /<name>([^<]+)/);
next unless defined $user;
$users{$user}++;
}
foreach my $user ( sort{ $users{$b} <=> $users{$a} } keys %users ){
print "$user\t$users{$user}\n";
}
