Because knowing what other nodes link to a node is an indicator that those nodes are about similar subjects.	[reply]

Yes, that and one can also see it as a measure of popularity/quality. Making Super Search able to sort by number of references would be a nice feature I'd use. A bit like google page rank. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

Node reputation is supposed to be a indicator of popularity already. Knowing only that there's a link from one node to another doesn't tell you much. Even PageRank takes into account the referring context; otherwise you'd rank a page highly only because there are 100 references to it saying "This is the most asinine, thoughtless comment ever". Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply]
