First thing I do exiting the convention center is remove my name tag -- I look like enough of a geek without advertising the fact.Paul A.

I'm going to run this past him as a suggestion. If it can be done on the cheap, perhaps INFORMS would be willing to host it.Paul A.

I would like some sort of catalog/tags over OR blogs, so I easily can find what is interesting or not. Due to the different blog sites, I think the only way would be by RSS feeds. I look a bit around and found :<br /><br />http://feedvis.com/?account=edublogs-demo<br /><br />Try the demo in left side, also zoom in on intervals, that is pretty cool.<br /><br />It seem to do pretty much what I need. If one could set up such a server for OR that would be very interesting.Bo Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533779186894174073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781383461061929571.post-26438290818752282972010-11-15T08:26:09.678-05:002010-11-15T08:26:09.678-05:00@Bo: Blogger lets authors tag blogs with what amou...@Bo: Blogger lets authors tag blogs with what amounts to keywords. I assume WordPress etc. do the same. Do you think there's any way to scrape the tags from blog posts and compile a database of them? Mike Trick recently pointed to tag cloud software (or a tag cloud generator site; I'm not sure which).Paul A.
