On youtube, and similar sites, there is a "Similar Videos" or something similar to that in the sidebar. Maybe there should be a related feature in Scratch 2.0 which will suggest related projects based on tags.

Maybe, but would it only show three? Also, many of the tags are unreliable, people just put them on their project.

Tags aren't very reliable... hmm

fg123 · 2010-05-13 01:52:00

Yeah. If you watch an animation, then, in the suggestion box, an OS could pop up, just because they both have "POKEMON ARE REAL!!!!!!!!!111111111111" Tag.

Yes! This would work if tags were reliable.

(I believe easy per-tag voting/favorites would help the community keep tags reliable. smile )

As AddZero commented, this suggestion in unison with AddZero's tagging suggestions would work well smile

Just a bit off topic:

I've always been curious about how Scratch knows which projects are a remix of what others...I find that even when you copy scripts from one project to another, they bring the "remix" with them (this has happened a few times when I used Archmage's scrolling engine). I wonder if anyone could provide any details about how this happens?

Well, you can see it keeps track of who shared it and when. For example, I can see everything you've done, and when, on your XML Parser by shift-clicking on "File" and writing a project summary:

2009-11-3 20:22:31 save XML
2009-11-3 21:47:48 save XML
2009-11-3 22:02:03 save XML
2009-11-4 07:37:36 save XML
2009-11-4 07:38:28 share XML Parser (sort of) fullmoon
2009-11-4 07:41:21 share XML Parser (sort of) fullmoon

That's how it keeps track of remixing projects. As for individual scripts and sprites, I don't know.

Wow. Creepy. That definitely clears some of that up, thanks!
