		<description><![CDATA[In the process of renaming our website from MyFriendSuggests.com to theSUGGESTR.com I found that most articles on this refer to using mod_rewrite to accomplish the redirect.  However for most us Java guys this may not be the way to go.  I used URLRewrite to accomplish this name change and have 301(Permanent redirects) from my old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tagging pages or items is a big part of the Web2.0 movement.  After doing some mild searching I didn&#8217;t find a prebuilt API for working with tags for Java (found some PHP stuff).  So I created one to be used in the next release of our site (www.myfriendsuggests.com).  As we&#8217;ve done in the past we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post builds on my previous post, in which we discuss how to scrape webmail sites for contacts.  Yahoo! is by far the easiest of the sites to scrape (of the major sites).  After you&#8217;ve sniffed the URLs used for the login you just need to replace the username and password for the login.  Yahoo!

		<description><![CDATA[For the past few weeks I&#8217;ve been playing with Taste, a Java based framework for collaborative filtering (basically the recommendation feature found on sites like Amazon and Netflix).    Hopefully in the near feature this tool will be incorporated in our site, MyFriendSuggests.com to improve our suggestion algorithms.

		<description><![CDATA[After fighting with eclipse a little I was able to get my eclipse 3.2 running with WST to deploy my web application to the root context with Tomcat. 
 The trick was that I had to manually edit the file:
&#60;Workspace&#62;\&#60;project&#62;\.setting\org.eclipse.wst.common.component 
I had to remove the value in the context root line so it looks like:
&#60;property name=&#8221;context-root&#8221; /&#62;
