I was holding off on pointing to it, but it seems the cat is out of the bag, so I can now announce that my buddy Trav has released a publicly-usable version of Facetmap, his tool for interfacing with faceted classifications. You can upload your own data and create your own Facetmap! (And why he doesn't have "TM" after every instance of the word "Facetmap" I don't know.) 2 comments so far. Add a comment.

I happened to check the site again after reading a B&A essay that wanted linking to it. I'm so impressed with this thing; I wish I'd had it two months ago to test out the facets we're working on for our current project....

Thanks again!) Posted by Andrew @ 05/16/2002 01:04 AM PST [link to this comment] Add A New Comment: Name E-Mail (optional) Homepage (optional) Comments Now with a bigger box for text entry! Whee!
