I like it!

I actually found a new movie that related to the ratings I supplied, nor have I seen it before, good stuff.

Here are some thoughts:

1. I've feed Netflix a lot of my data over the years. A link from each movie to a Netflix result would show how Netflix rates it related to me. Maybe you don't want to push people to Netflix, but it's useful information to me.

2. I don't really care about the "people" I care about the movies. As I click through the results I see a lot of duplicate movies under different people. Remove or leave the people category, I don't care, but strip away the duplicate results...

All in all I find it useful.

Thanks coffee, glad you like it.

1. Oh yes we want to push Netflix! We're just a small french project and Netflix has not invaded us as of this date; and is unlikely to do so for sometime, actually. I know what you're talking about and we'll see how/if we can implement it.

2. Well that's a bummer, deegr's all about finding others like you ^^ If we only recommended movies without telling you why you should like them, we'd ressemble every other engine out there! Don't you like knowing you have taste-mates out there?

Yea I guess it would be interesting to know I have taste mates out there. But I feel like that's the bigger picture, once I regularly engage with you application. My perspective is one of, what do I get out of this right now, first time using it, that brings me back to enjoying the people matching in the future... Just my 2 cents...

Cool stuff though. I really like where your going with it. I instantly found it useful to find a new movie which is what is the most important to me now ( tomorrow following taste mates may trump that )
