Welcome
to PHOAKS
Collaborative
filtering site: PHOAKS exists to help us all help each other
find appropriate and relevant web resources in a simple and timely manner.
How
it works: People post their opinions of web resources in
Usenet Netnews (you can too). Around the clock, PHOAKS reads, classifies,
abstracts and tallies those opinions automatically. PHOAKS' pages here
reflect the results.
Easy
Navigation: Once you enter PHOAKS, you can use keyword
search or a hierarchical index to find
your way around. For each thematic newsgroup, check out the most frequent,
most recent, or top contributors web resources. You can view snippets
of the source opinions and related FAQs.
PHOAKS filters
out most spurious and signature references, so in general the number
of opinions will be quite a bit less than the total number of resources
that may be mentioned in a newsgroup. PHOAKS adds about 4,000 new opinions
everyday. PHOAKS does not read .announce, .answers, .jobs, or .binaries
groups since these specialized types of groups are not sources of opinions.
Your feedback
is welcome. Please email thefolks@phoaks.com.
