Cool Stuff Roundup?

November 16, 2007 4:32 PM

The addition of the user-pics page has prompted me to wonder: is there a handy list of all the interesting MeFi links somewhere? I'm sure there's more stuff like that that I don't know about.

Is this a trick question?

MetaMetaFilter?

Do you mean member's websites?

Cortex was starting something like that but he updates it erratically. Maybe you can poke him?

It's not meant as a trick question, although I could have been clearer. I mean internal Metafilter toys and gadgets. Like the all-users profile pics page, the all-users twitter page, stuff like that.

There's the social explorer.

Is there an upper limit on the social explorer, or are there exactly 999 Mefi folks with a link to Flickr in their profiles?

He's talking about Metafilter Labs y'all. You know, live graphs n shit.

All the interesting links? You might try Tehloki's favorites list to begin with. But it's hardly a complete list.

Just clicking on the user pages of interesting members and sampling their websites is my way. We have an incredibly interesting group here. I don't know how anyone finds the time for these things, but I love them.

As soon as I hit "post", the answer will hit me in the face, so I shall ask it: WHAT user-pics page?

The travel subsection could use a link. I totally forgot it was there until somebody mentioned it. Judging from the lack of responses, most people have forgotten as well.

I think that was supposed to be "user-page pics".

Here's what I meant by the user-pics page. I've also collected recent flickr photos by mefites and recent tweets by mefites

There's the social explorer.

Wow, we have exactly 1000 users also on flickr.

This really isn't that confusing; if you missed the MeTa about the user-pics page - and most MeFites did, surely - I don't think there's a link to it anywhere else. This kind of stuff should probably be in the Wiki, maybe here?

ADAM RICE: Hey, thanks for the answer and for the swell pics page! Colonial-era NH telephone wires make the download tedious but worth it. Appreciate your effort.
Also, thanks to SCDB for what he thought was the answer.

Mediareport: that page is auto-generated by Mediawiki (I think), and points to special pages within the wiki. That said, it seems appropriate to have a page of these gadgets in the MefiWiki.

In the meantime, I'm linking everything I find here.

They're more backroom than integrated, but there's MarkovFilter and Word Cloud.
