Automate my Ire

Disclaimer: I realise I am an unsociable bastard.  And that it may be
"just me" - in which case this makes no sense.  And I guess it offends
that kind of "be positive" American sensibility (which I know is one
of your strengths, even if I find it creepy).

But damn there are a lot of idiots out there.

I read stuff in various places and I think, "must remember not to
bother with them".  But then I forget.  So I want the inverse of an
RSS feed, or a Twitter subscription: I want something that tracks
people I don't want to be bothered with.  And then filters them out.
The result might, for example, grey-out their comments on web sites.

I can see various technical difficulties: detecting persistent
identities across multiple sites; associating content with particular
people on multiple sites; modifying HTML on sites with unknown
structure.

But I can also see that we're getting close to this been possible:
single sign on is a big help; people seem to be getting better at
interpreting social relationships and constructing social graphs.

So, is this possible?  Is anyone going to build it?

Andrew

Comment on this post

This is my blog. It used to be a mailing list called C[omp]ute. It is still generated by email. You can reply to comments via the appropriate link. Edit the mail address to remove the anti-spam measure. However, given the very low volume of replies, and the high rate of spam, it can be months before I moderate a post. Sorry. © 2006-2009 Andrew Cooke (site) / post authors (content).

I am always interested in offers/projects/new ideas. Eclectic experience in fields like: numerical computing; Java web/enterprise; functional languages; Python client GUI/web/database; etc. Based in Santiago, Chile; telecommute worldwide. CV; email.
