  1. Interesting. Reminds me of the Library Thing features; their Book Suggester. Very interesting stuff.

    Though with Library Thing, what I do more often is look at collections that have been flagged as matching mine, and I just look around at what else they have. More voyeuristic that way; more like going to a friends house and looking around at their bookshelves.

    I have been enjoying Library Thing, by the way. I’m Majella, if you want to voyeuristically look through my bookshelves as well.

  2. Reminds me in a way of pandora.com. Pandora does recommendations off music, but it is a bit less flexible than the book places.

    I still think about getting an account there or other places for the purpose of indexing the books I do have.
