Comments for The Rice Cooker 電飯煲 http://jmsc.hku.hk/blogs/ricecooker The JMSC's Computational Journalism Blog Tue, 03 Apr 2012 04:22:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Comment on No trending topics, no problem by Cedric Sam http://jmsc.hku.hk/blogs/ricecooker/2012/04/03/no-trending-topics-no-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-1836 Cedric Sam Tue, 03 Apr 2012 04:22:06 +0000 http://jmsc.hku.hk/blogs/ricecooker/?p=581#comment-1836 Oh yeah, I see what you mean. When I wrote my entry, it was early morning (before 9AM) and the topics for the day didn't come in yet. Thus it seemed like the daily trending topics stopped at April 1st (two days ago). This was the page I saw for the "last day's" trending topics: http://weibo.com/pub/topmblog?type=re&act=day&t=2012-04-02 For the weekly trending topics, I was confused because they don't include (by manual inspection) posts made in the last 3 days up to the day. Seems consistent with past weekly trending topics pages. Oh yeah, I see what you mean. When I wrote my entry, it was early morning (before 9AM) and the topics for the day didn’t come in yet.

I wasn't monitoring it the whole time, but Sina's trending topics were definitely available as usual during the comments blackout. Here's an example of one of them, from April 1: http://topic.weibo.com/star/21995?hasori=1&refer=index_hot_new What do you mean by the “shutdown of trending topics”?

I have a question though. Search with a date-range doesn't respond, so I seem to be doing something wrong. For example, [2012-01-01[00:00]] as start date should work right? Great feature, thanks.

I have met your supervisor Dr. Fu at DC this year. I am not sure if the following tool can help. It is a tool developed by a programmer now behind Plurk: "Loso主要是我替Plurk寫的一套中文斷詞系統，稍後有空我會寫篇文章來介紹這套系統 專案網址: https://github.com/victorlin/loso" I am not so sure if it is more efficient than Bamboo, though. If you are interested in analyzing the geographic and linguistic scripts used in Weibo's external links, we can have a chat about it in the near future.

I am not sure if the following tool can help. It is a tool developed by a programmer now behind Plurk:

“Loso主要是我替Plurk寫的一套中文斷詞系統，稍後有空我會寫篇文章來介紹這套系統
專案網址: https://github.com/victorlin/loso”

I am not so sure if it is more efficient than Bamboo, though.
