Abstract

See full text

A weighted list may be visually shown on a website, e.g., as a tag cloud, object cloud, etc. The font size of each item in the weighted list indicates its strength relative to the other items in the same. The strength of a weighted list item is determined based at least on individual weights associated with the users who applied a given tag to an object. For example, the item in the weighted list may represent the given tag in a tag cloud, or the object in an object cloud. The respective weights associated with the users when applying the given tag to the object may be different from one another because of different qualities of the users. For example, the weight associated with a user varies with the number of times the given tag was applied to that user.
