I'd love to be able to filter or have the system filter even further. For example in sports, just baseball or football not all sports.

I do see that you have something that sounds like this coming under your coming soon section so you may already be working on this.
yeah. the algorithm I built takes a little training per topic/vertical, but after the initial training, it just starts learning.

I have a long list of potential topics that the algorithm would be good at. pretty much any sports topic it would kick butt on.

My brother keeps telling me I need to split up sports too. Basically, the initial verticals were to stress out the algorithm to make sure it would work on various concepts and still keep things interesting.

Basically, you could imagine every concept http://alltop.com/ tracks running through my algorithms.

Thanks for the feedback though. That's the kind of information that really helps a hacker getting started.
