Subject: Google Sets suggesting similar websites, movies, music
Hi!

I have known and used Google Sets since its launch back in 2002. It
has been really helpful suggesting movies I would possibly like. One
only needs to enter two or more titles and Google Sets creates a list
of similar movies.

It does not always work perfectly but I would say it does not too bad.
It would be even greater if  Sets included websites (services), music,
books and so on. Other websites I use to generate a list of items "my
taste" are Amazon.com and IMDB.com under Recommended, Also, Suggested.

I would love to hear from the Google Sets team. Please respond!

You are welcome. I am glad that you have been inspired by that.

IMDB.com also offers a feature called Recommendations:
http://www.imdb.com/help/search?domain=helpdesk_faq&index=1&file=rede...

Amazon.com has both:
* Recommendations: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=13...
* Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought
* What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item?
* Suggested Tags from Similar Products

iTunes has similar Recommendations engine.

But Google Sets is a different story. It is independent somehow. And
obviously, it is not being developed, unfortunately.

That is very interesting Kalin, actually I haven't heard about Google
Sets until finding this thread in Google's search results. It's a neat
feature to say the least. For the last couple of months I've been
using http://www.tastekid.com/ for finding similar music, movies and
books, it seems to be a pretty good recommendation system. But then
again, it is focused on music/movies/books, Google Sets can be used on
a much larger variety of "sets", indeed.

Do you know any other services like that? I feel really curious about
it. TasteKid is great though. Thanks!
