lj interest vectors

[dr4b]

hmm, luxnightmare posted about this - an lj feature that lets you see which people are most similar to you based on interests.

strangely, jcreed is my top match (but I am only #4 for him). I don't know many of the people who came up at all, actually. what also is funny is that Carl doesn't even show up on mine at all, but I am #2 on his list. i'm not on Eli's at all, but that's unsurprising.

I suspect they do something like weighing less common interests more highly...

Bingo. It's a preliminary implementation, and it's all but guaranteed to be refined within the next few days/weeks.

Seems to have been tweaked over the last day or two -- very different results from last time I tried it.
