This one still doesn't work for me at all! Obviously I'm not meant to have any more interests. :)

I b0rked this meme and demonstrated how badly written it was, simply because I don't have many "interests" registered. The coder detected the problem but failed to deal with it properly. Duh....

Other people have said the accuracy of this meme has been impressive. I guess some of them are fairly likely, but none of them are really jumping out at me. Politics just depresses me these days, history is something I've always been useless at, buffy I've barely seen any of, singing I only do along to random music that's playing.

I don't think you're alone. When I ran it, it produced <f/x: checks CVS log> four things that I added to my list, but all of them were alternative wordings of things I already had. For completeness I ran it again after doing this, and it produced nothing I particularly felt moved to add.

It would be interesting to be able to do a full Amazon-style match ("based on your full set of interests we have the following recommendations for you"), to see whether the effectiveness differs appreciably from only using the rare interests (which I assume is done so that the process has tractable complexity).
