I don't have much time to discuss it, but http://www.hunch.com is very interesting. It uses statistics collected from everyone to try and tell you what sort of thing you'd like.

When you use Hunch, our servers automatically record standard information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website.

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Hunch, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred.


So I'll tell them all about me, they make a record of all the sites I visit and then sell that information to people.

And I get useful links in exchange?

Not really worth it thanks.

Lave, they can only tell the pages you visit on their site and the page you were on when you clicked a link to them. Nothing else. All webpages do that anyway, there's nothing in that document that isn't true of Beex or my blog or any other site anywhere.

While playing Pipe Mania, I asked Hunch what video game I should play.

It suggested Pipe Mania.

Ooookay then.

Fourth result was Tetris Attack.

It's not entirely unlikely that I wrote Hunch and sent it back in time to myself.
