what do you like?

two great areas of discussion are taste in music and books. there are many sites that can help you discover what you might like based on what you say you do like.

  • here's a good site that gives good music. musicovery.com plays music based on mood, genre and age. check it out.

  • pandora.com is unfortunately only available to US citizens, but is a great tool that helps you create "radio channels" based on music taste, and you can say which you like and not. after a while it actually gets really accurate and helps you discover new music that you didn't know about.


  • amazon related product search searches amazon's "Customers who bought this item also bought" based on a title you specify and then creates a web of connected items. you can search on more than just books - music, dvds, software and more are also available. the only problem is that after a while it gets too plotty and messy as too many items get connected to each other, and it's difficult to find anything. but it's a good idea, and the flash is quite cool as well, to see things pop up all the time.
