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.

This was on LJ back in 2000, but it's been down with the rest of the directory for quite a while, due to slowness and instability and whatnot. But it's all finally back up again. Yay.

jcreed is also my top match, which makes a certain amount of sense given the current formula (we're interested in things not too many others are, like type theory and constructive logic). Actually, I'm friends with the top 5 (though #2 doesn't count, since I nominally maintain the economics community). The joys of having interests not too many others are interested in, but I suspect that influence is going to be less of a factor as time goes on and the formula is refined.
