MyFriendSuggests.com - Get Personalized Suggestions

The goal of this site is to help sift through the endless clutter of reviews and opinions on the web and find the information that will be valuable to you the next time you need to decide where to go for dinner or for a night out on the town or where to stay on your next vacation. There are hundreds of other review sites, so you might be curious what makes them different.

The Friend Network feature allows you to see if different reviews are made by friends of yours (or friends of there's). This helps you qualify how valuable the review is and even contact the person to discuss it further. The Personalized Suggestion formula helps find places that you'll like. By using a technique called collaborative filtering (same idea used on sites like Netflix and Amazon.com) they are able to use the places you've rated and those that your friends rated to predict how well you will like places you've never been. One of the coolest features is the Similarity Meter. When they calculate your personalized suggestions they need to determine how similar your tastes are to other MyFriendSuggest's users. Instead of just hiding that information they make it available as a meter. The meter represents how similar you are to the user who wrote the review. A score of 0 means you do not have much in common and a score of 10 means you think alike on every rating you've made. You can use this information to judge which reviews will most likely pertain to you.
