very nice! might want to remove api_key from source though :)

Thanks! The key is not private, it‘s simply a ‘favor’ to the API to identify where the requests are coming from. The app gets a higher rate limit in exchange for registering.

Still, it means that someone else can copy your API key and abuse the API on your behalf.

If you're also interested in the correlation between Twitter hashtags, we show those on http://hashtagify.me - in a visual way; a table is coming soon.

Interesting. What about including a second column showing the back correlation? An example: 'WPF' appears 6% of the time for 'C#' questions, while 46% of 'WPF' questions include the 'C#' tag. Would be interesting use this to identify ontological hierarchy trends.

Huh, C++ apparently not correlated much with anything.

How do I correlate questions tagged "go"?

Should be good now: http://clipperhouse.github.io/stack-correlation/#stackoverfl... (may need to clear cache)

http://clipperhouse.github.io/stack-correlation/#stackoverfl... is an interesting result to me at least.

FWIW, doesn't seem to allow me to look at the tag 'r'.

While I won't argue that R is an awful name for a programming language, it's a legitimate tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r

Opened a GitHub issue: https://github.com/clipperhouse/stack-correlation/issues/1

Thanks, this should be resolved (after GitHub’s cache clears). I was returning a limited # of results, and both R and Go ranked low enough not to appear.
