Hehe. I am from Asia (Philippines), but in Norway right now for a short training. Things are a little bit unpredictable right now (schedule, etc.) for me but I find your project very interesting. It would be good if I can find something else to do since I have a few hours at night after the training.

Would be good if you can give me some more info about it.

Autotagger is one of the more interesting things I've worked on in the last couple of years, it takes a pretty weird approach to the problem but it worked surprisingly well.

When I have some time I'll do a write-up on it and post it.

The basic idea behind it is 'google backwards', if you can figure out how it works from those two words drop me a line ;)

I have no idea what you mean by "google backwards".

Anyway, thanks! I keep an eye on this project.
