I didn't--I just went with the default recommendations based on my designated interests.

I just tried searching for "dating websites" and it returned: Modern reliquaries & New Commodore 64, Sexy beast & Ben Kingsley, Pretty Mouth And Green My Eyes & Raymond Carver

While I do like Raymond Carver, I'm not sure if I find these connections intuitive...do you suggest search terms that are more abstract?

Also out of curiosity, what did Brian Eno say? :)

No, concrete searches should work, and will work better once more people contribute their mental associations. Since this is fairly new, there aren't many yet. But it should become more useful over time.

Eno said "So, does this exist? Is this live? Yeah, I'd like to use it."

He also shared an interesting idea/need which I mention here: https://medium.com/@rafael_j/the-cultural-ouroboros-e7917388...

Thanks again,
